Why do I feel like this when husband is perfect

I love my husband but apart from his parents, he has no friends or family. He is great with the kids and with me but we never do anything with anyone else.

He would happily spend all weekend with the kids and I could be somewhere else. He doesn't show contempt or anything towards me but I feel alone.

I am sociable and love talking to other people, making plans, having the children play together while the adults chat.

I think there are worse things in life. Be grateful he is not holding you back. You could find a man who would come out with you etc, but what if he then flirts with every woman or over spends? Can have it all. As long he doesn't curtail YOUR fun.

It sounds like you are not compatible.
it is very difficult to make friends as an adult.
If he is happy the way he is, then you cannot change him.
option 1: accept the way he is and choose to enjoy socialising by taking ownership of that part of family life

option 2: decide now that you are not happy, made a mistake in your choice of partner and part ways
