I get it. Most of my friends are in relationships and I love my friends and I'm happy that they are happy. BUT...I wish I had someone special in my life and it's hard to be around happy couples when you feel lonely and sad about being single. It isn't that you're not happy for your friends, it's that you're only human and it definitely gets to you.
I might as well be alone. Not 1 card or call from my kids on my bday last week. And last night they had Thanksgiving dinner without me. Even knowing full well that I have to work Thanksgiving. But thats ok. I'll certainly remember this the next time 1 of my kids wants to borrow some $$.

Your kids are heartless. My mother is in town this week from Kentucky. I kind of feel bad for not spending as much time with her as I could (especially since she has helped me survive financially here in DC), but what you kids are doing is just really messed up.
My father who is no longer living was pretty mediocre but God Almighty knows I'd kill to have one more Thanksgiving with him.

They don't have to spend time with you. At least, you won't give them any money.
How rude Captain..utterly rude. Had that same scenario happened with me when I was younger one of my parents would have given me a very stern talking to. But I suppose your kids are too old for that now.
More on topic, I'll be moseying on down to my very first American Thanksgiving. So unless I snag someone in the next two days, I'll be quite single. Honestly most of the family are all much older so I won't feel so bad. The food is excellent as well, risotto, pasta, polenta, cheese, salami, cannot wait.
I tried to rate you positively but I have to "spread it around."
I don't know why people think that people in my situation should be somehow ashamed because we are acting like a human being. I'm happy for these people but when it's all right there in your face it makes you all too aware of the gaping hole in your life!
Wow!! Trust me, things could be worse. I'm assuming you have a home? And food? Don't ever judge your worth by what others have. Be your own yardstick. You can seriously be more alone with someone, than by yourself. Remember that.
Think of what you have, not what you don't. Then go and enjoy yourself with those people.
Sure the pilgrims and the natives might have eaten turkey, but you'll be damned if you're going to make us Swiss-Italians eat that boring white meat with cranberry sauce :P. Now, the stuffing, the stuffing we can get behind, that's got flavor. Mix it with some other meat like sausage or steak and you've got yourself a good meal.
