My husband is a recluse

DH is 53 and has always been quiet but happy to go out. Nothing wild, cinema, meals etc. But he is now getting to the point where he doesn't want to do anything other than work and sleep.

Meanwhile I am trying to juggle children starting to leave home, menopause and care of elderly parent

We have been together 30 years and I love him but I need to get out of the house.

What do you want OP? He won't change. He has the life he wants and there's no incentive for him to do anything differently.
If you want things to be different, you need to separate. You've got a lot of life left - do you want this for the next 30 years?
