Most are like me, their husband’s think that they have to go.
Mine from the time he wakes up is in the same place. He watches utube and he is supposed to be getting rid of stuff and getting the downstairs clean. I should be grateful for him, but I find myself really anxious. I was always self reliant, because he went into work at 12:00, that I am not used to him being around. I need a purpose. If I wake up in the night I put the dishes in the dishwasher and have been doing the laundry. Otherwise I am looking up things on my phone and it doesn’t help.

Maybe try volunteer work for x number of hours per week depending on your needs. If he wants to do it with you that’s okay because you would still be doing something new and interacting with new people. Maybe some of your friends would want to join in.
What about joining something like the Red Hat Society that is a women only social group? You and your friends could start your own chapter or join one. I don’t know that much about it. Just a thought. Brainstorm with your friends on what would benefit all of you. Maybe the men could start something of their own as well so you all stay happy and active. New people, new activities and new conversations would keep life interesting for all of you. Actively pursue a solution and you’ll find it. I can’t wait to see some new joy posts from you soon! In the meantime, keep reading the joy posts from others to see how the simple things in life often bring us the most joy. Maybe start game night with other couples? So many joys out there just ripe for the picking. 😊
