He does not. So I’ve started saying to other moms (school, the park, wherever) “I have a small group that gets together now and then for a glass of wine. Let me know if you’d like to exchange numbers and I’ll let you know the next time we head out.” Women are often excited to make “mom friends” and are often shy about putting themselves out there. The group I have now varies when we go out from 1:1 outings to as many as 12 of us. People move or are busy so there are usually some “regulars” and some “newbies”. I find I get a lot of the feeling of “I want to do something new and meet new people” just by hanging out with these other women.
OP here. Yep, I think part of what I was feeling was the desire for something fresh and new! I’ll have to think of more ways to bring newness into my life outside of just my DH!
