Husband never wants to go anywhere

[Leagueofgentlemenfan]

Can anyone relate? My husband is a homebody, so am i, but i do like to go out just for an hour or (walk the dog , or take the kids to the park on their bikes). He wont go anywhere! We are only 35 years old .i feel like he holds us back so much.
I do absolutley everything on my own. I even take our children to the seaside on my own. People must think im a single parent.

I know i cant force him but i feel like his life is passing him by and hes just sitting on the sofa every day. If i do encourage him to come he moans alot and spoils it.
Hes been working from home since march and has basically not left the sofa in all that time.
Can anyone relate?

Yep mine is like this too, glued to a screen from the moment he wakes up - pauses what he’s watching and looks at me with an annoyed face if I try and talk to him - then rewinds what he’s watching and presses play again.

Hi There, I feel that I have been isolated by my husband, we didn't make friends since we moved, I wanted to move out of our flat to a home and finally agreed on condition that he works only on weekends (I work full time). This arrangement resulted in never going out, I don't have a car and therefore limited to even visit the town centre. We have joint accounts and control our finances and argue when I buy something. My life has become weekdays working full time and weekends at home cleaning. I tried to reason with him that this is not an ideal situation long term especially for our 5 year old daughter but he gets angry every time when I start a conversation. When planning holidays they have to be scheduled according to his job (he is a self employed taxi driver) and insist on limited days as opposed to me with a five weeks holiday entitlement. I am exhausted, alone and feel so unhappy, I don't have anybody to confide to and for support as my family lives abroad. I find it unfair but says that I am being difficult. Please help!

Hi I can relate to this. It feels like I am on my own all the time taking my daughter on my own. I see other fathers and mother taking their children out. It makes me really sad too. I might as well be single

What do you do when your husband doesn't want to do anything with you? He's a full time teacher and I'm a part time therapist. He will go to things now and then, but as an introvert needs people/activities much less than me. Our friends have all been made by me, he doesn't have friends he found himself, apart from colleagues.

He's a lovely guy, kind and funny and generous and we've been together since we were 19 (both 37 now). We have a 16 year old daughter who we adore and she's now going out/away with friends and it's just so.... Weird without her.

He can sit and mark papers alllll day and watch sport, and I am just soooooo bored 😴 I planned our upcoming holiday and he will enjoy it, but he literally plans next to nothing to do ever. He's just so content it makes me restless, and I wonder why he doesn't wanna hang out with me outside our house.

It always sounds like an attack when I talk to him about it, and end of term is a tired, dodgy time to talk I think. I can't imagine my life without him but I also think I could be happier with someone who wanted to go out with me. You can't make a person change... I know that, I just wish he wanted to change a little 😢
