Another New Year’s Eve of sitting on the couch with my husband. We relocated in 2017, and neither one of us has made friends. Me, because I work odd hours and it’s hard to, but I’d love to. Him, because he wants to play video games all the time. I should have just planned a trip with my friends(from where we used to live), as a weekend getaway. Idk how my husband can just spend all his time gaming or with me. We can’t even stand each other. Being stuck together during a 4 day weekend for us both, not ideal. I think we would both benefit from some time spent with other people, trying to make genuinely friendly connections. He’s upset that I don’t feel like being with him only, all the time, is good enough for me. It’s because we don’t have any connection anymore. We have grown apart. As a childless almost 40 year old woman, I want to experience life, and he doesn’t. I feel so stuck. I wish I could just leave. Maybe 2024 will be my year to find my happy again. And him too.
