How can I make my life more exciting?

I just feel totally bored with my life right now. I need to make some changes to make it more exciting and fun.

I live in a very boring, small town where everyone knows everyone else's business. There are very few decent places locally to go out to, for example nice coffee shops or bars.

DH and I have a business together, for which we both work from home. Kids are secondary school age. I see on social media that other people from our area go to the nearest city for nights out or for meals in nice restaurants. They have weekends and city breaks abroad. They go to events such as Christmas balls, and do nice things. And it just strikes me how boring my life is.

Literally all DH wants to do is go to the local pub with his mates on a Friday night, and do DIY all weekend. We never do anything where I can get dressed up or anything that feels remotely glamorous. I hate our town. Really hate it. We have a holiday once a year but other than that DH doesn't want to do anything fun.

I know that all of this is a bit of a moot point at the moment and most things I want to do are a no go with Covid restrictions, but when Covid restrictions are lifted a little whenever that may be, I need to make my life more exciting. I feel resentful and fed up.

Has anyone else ever felt like this and how did you change it? I don't know if any of my friends would be in a situation financially to do any of the things I want to do. And the one that would, her husband wouldn't like her going off for weekends or holidays without hun.

If you told your dh you wanted to go for a big night out somewhere would he agree a date with you? If so, book a night and go. If not, maybe see if a friend would go with you?

I'm much more keen than my dp to go on holidays and days out, but as long as I do the organising he is happy to tag along as he knows it makes me happy.

If you don't ask, you don't get. Why not just ask some of your friends, casually? They are free to say no.
