This is silly, we do have fun when we're with others and we had a lovely holiday together this summer. We're still in love and have a happy marriage.
But life is just getting me down a bit at the moment.
We are going away to a cottage tonight, just us two for the weekend. Think country pub, cycling etc. Heaven once upon a time.
I'm looking forward to it but I'd rather be listening to music quietly or read. Alone.
I think it's just the way I'm feeling at the moment, I'm a bit low but I'll get through it, I always do.
What can we do this weekend to have fun? I just cba with anything 😕😅
Im not talking sex BTW. More conversations, games, etc.
He's very quiet too so we'd happily sit in silence for hours but that's not great for us.

I do need peace and relaxation.
My family put a lot of demands on me and I'm just sort of realising that no one actually ever asks how I am or want to see me unless I'm providing something like food or childcare.
It will be good to be in the woods and switch off I think, I'm actually starting to look forward to it now.

Bumpy start, things went wrong but I'm actually really enjoying myself.
Pub, few drinks and cards at the cottage last night.
Nice morning so far 😁 and doing a big cycle today, geocaching (thanks for the suggestion, we used to do this years ago!) and a pub crawl before a board game and cheese tonight.
Funny the difference a day can make 🤗

That's great. You could try to carry on some of the things you've enjoyed when you get home. Maybe have one evening a week when you play cards together or something
