Dh is in a bubble on his own.
No real communication,no affection or anything really.
The common ground that we did have has gone after 38 yrs.
We had our differences of course but the common ground being the dcs with the last one gone 2 yrs ago I'm increasingly lonely.I work every other w end to fill the void.
I was always the energy and drive for the family yet feel drained by it now.
Quite a bubbly get up and go type.
He won't go on walks look after his health or appearance.
Won't do DIY much unless I go on about it.
Do many long term marriages end up like this.
My neighbours live separate lives him with his work and hobbies her at home with grandchildren.
I feel really lonely some days though I like my own company.

Hey there,
Think about what you want your day to day life to look like. What would make you feel less lonely? It's a platitude but helping others will make you feel good, are there any volunteering opportunities you would be interested in?
Best of luck, and hope you feel better.

I get what you mean about volunteering but I work full time and have a 3 mile walk each day so not much time or energy left tbh.
