Advice needed on how not to be so boring all the time!

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for how to build up my stamina for going out and having a good time. When my OH and I got together first, we used to enjoy going out for drinks and getting merry but the longer we are together, the more comfortable I am and I just want to go home and vegetate on the sofa with a facemask on all the time.

My OH still loves going out and regularly does with his friends but it has gotten to the point where he doesn’t even ask me if I want to join anymore because I never do. I know he wishes I would liven up a bit and I wish I could but I am constantly tired and just want to lie down and be snug after a long day/week at work.

How can I shake myself and liven up – I’m getting old and boring before my time!

I’d drop the facemask thing for a start OP. Seriously .... ?

Have you seen your GP to check you’re not anaemia?

How old are you? If you are tired all the time I'd see the doctor for a blood test ASAP.

I don’t understand why you have to go out drinking if you don’t want to ?

Or is it that you do want to go out and get drunk but you are too tired ?

luckily DP and I are both like that and just want to chill at home.

Def see a doctor though.

I’m a homebody but so is DH. We used to love going out but we get quite excited by quiet nights in with a nice meal and kitchen dancing. Having said that, if one of us wanted to go out we’d both be up for it. How’s your relationship generally?

Homebody here too 🙂.

We love nothing more than to stay in with a few beers and watching music channels, Casualty and Take me out, whatever is on.

Every now and then, to get out of the house, we go out for a meal, just the two of us. We’d book an early table somewhere so we can get back for lounging on the sofa in our trackies. How about trying that, op, as a bit of middle ground? That way, you are going out with him. He gets to go out with his mates, a healthy balance? 💐💐

If dh went out without me, I’d be happy. In a good way of course.

We used to go out a lot in the early days also, been together 27 years.

Staying in is the new going out 😁.

See if you can get to your gp this week for a blood test, rule out underactive thyroid gland etc xx

Who wants to go out at this time of year tho? Seriously...!

I know @something, awful weather.
