So my husband and I have been married a little over 4 months now. He's got friends of his own. Another married couple. They live close by. I had a friend of my own. A married woman who had a shit husband. She moved away.

I had to move myself and our cats across the ocean and wait for my husband to get here a few weeks later because he's gotta finish up some work stuff.

But now that I'm in a completely empty house, in a town where I know literally no one, taking care of 2 cats alone... I just feel like I'm single all over again.

He doesn't give me the attention I ask for when I know he isn't busy with work.

And now he's spending the night with his married couple friends.

I just get so jealous when my husband's attention is focused solely on his friends. I don't even get a text when he's with them.

I feel so unloved, and unappreciated, so unimportant.

How do I communicate that to him while still being able avoid holding him back from bonding with his friends?
