Something needs to change for me but I don't know what. I'm married with two children. One is at uni and one doing a levels. I'm mid 40s and work full time.
I know that social media shows the rose tinted version of others, but my life seems so dull in comparison.
DH is very sensible when it comes to money and whilst we have savings, we have a lot of outgoings with uni payments and another child to do the same in a couple of years.
I want to be more carefree. I want to replace our bathrooms and kitchen. I want to go to festivals and have weekends away. I totally get what dh is saying about money but it doesn't stop how I feel.
I need to find a new pastime for me but I have no idea what. I know I don't want it to be something like running as my health isn't amazing. I've tried yoga but it wasn't for me (plus I found it very hard justifying spending so much money). I'd love it to be something where I make new friends as our circle of friends is very small. It doesn't bother dh. So any suggestions would be grateful received.
I know I'm really lucky with everything that I have - reading mn makes me realise that so much and I'm very conscious that these sound like first world problems.
But I still feel stifled with my lifestyle at the moment.
