I’ve been married for 4 years - our marriage happened really fast-after few months of meeting (a lot of reasons-won’t be telling them on here). I like him - he is responsible, no conflicts, I’m attracted to him physically, sex is good, he is a great dad to our 3year old, but.... deep down I feel like I would love to spend time with someone who is very opposite to him. He is very quiet and introverted and likes to read quietly in the corner or watch documentaries while I love to explore places and be spontaneous... I love him, but I moved to his area far from home and Not really having friends - I’ve been very depressed - trying to do things on my own or connect with people - but it’s hard. He usually doesn’t want to join me in activities because it’s not his thing. What would you do? Continue marriage and maybe try to do more things on your own? Or break it up ...

You sound like you need more adventure in your life so focus on making friendships to do those fun things with!
Count your blessings if this is the only niggle in your marriage. Decent, caring, loving, faithful husbands are hard to find x

Find friends via your son and go and enjoy time on your own with them. It's ok to have a social life by yourself without H or child. It would seem silly to leave your H as you seem to be happy with him.

As you live in an area you don't know that well now is it possible to go and explore it and fulfil that craving? Albeit your explorations may be child friendly ones, but presumably if DH was up for such things that would be the case anyway as your child would come along?

Can you either explore alone (or just with DC) to try and feed this craving or speak to him and ask that you do it together some weekends, with DC too, and try and find a balance that fulfils both of your needs?

It's hard being married to an introvert. It doesn't get any easier I am afraid.

Opposites attract! I wouldnt end the marriage as he sounds like a good guy. Maybe take up a hobby of your own to make some friends? Or find something fun to do as a family that appeals to you both? I think you’re missing friendships from your life
