I'm married (2nd husband) but spend most of my time working alone and I really really enjoy it. I have plenty of opportunity to make friends but I tend to avoid it in most cases, bar a couple of people who I see a couple of times a year.

When I was in my 20's and married to my first husband, he used to berate me for being solitary and tell me I was very weird, lol... I was diagnosed with aspergers a few years ago, in my 40's and suddenly, everything made sense. I was so happy to receive that diagnosis!! :)

I sell vintage handbags, cowboy boots, and clothing on Etsy (Jemima Vintage) and I have a ton of other interests that keep me endlessly fascinated. But one thing I wish? I wish I hadn't wasted time trying to please my first husband and push myself socially, because it always ended in tears.. always.. Anyway, that was then!!

Interestingly, my 2nd husband is super duper sociable but in the 20 years we've been together, has never once criticised me for being a solitary person. If HE wants to go out with friends, he goes. If I don't want to go, he just gets on with it without any fuss. He kind of likes the fact that I'm introverted. He gets the best of both worlds..
