Would you be lonely if you lived my lifestyle?

I'm an adult male. I live alone during the week but stay at my girlfriend's house on weekends. During the week, I work an office job where I sit in a cubical all day writing software and don't get much human interaction, especially not for social purposes, just work-related conversation. My girlfriend is not one to talk on the phone so I never talk to her on weeknights. We might talk on the phone twice during a weekday for 10 minutes each time. I've always been rather non-social, so other than my girlfriend, I dont have a social life.

I'm happy as a clam on weekends, but during the week I tend to be very unhappy, anxious, and depressed. I worry about work, finances, etc. It occurs to me that maybe all that anxiety and negative emotion is coming from loneliness. If you lived my lifestyle, would you get very lonely and depressed, or would you be ok with what I described?
 
i would but you got to find some freinds to hang out with after work.
work freinds
school freinds
neighbors.

i got to amit it, your life is really boring.
go to clubs or hang out somewhere.
or just geta dog.

:) hope this helps
 
I would be okay with it, probably, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from (especially since you're much happier on weekends). I would say maybe you could consider moving with a roommate for the weekdays. If not, you could maybe instant message with your girlfriend if she doesn't want to talk on the phone.

As for a social life, unfortunately most people's social lives consist of hanging out late at bars and getting drunk. I assume you're not into that crap so I would suggest joining clubs, maybe a sport. Take care.
 
Ariel and Steve are right, you need human interaction, not a dog, like the 2nd answerer seems to think. lol

If you wanna get a dog, be my guest, but a dog isn't gonna substitute the fact that you need to make interpersonal connections with people in order to avoid loneliness.
