[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is an introvert and loving the current situation. I used to be more of an introvert but have changed over the years and do not enjoy extended periods alone, especially for the kids.

I'm not looking to bust out and jump on a plane or go to concerts or take the kids to an amusement park. I just want to get out for a nice road trip to some peaceful place, maybe even carefully select an AirBnb. Or just go to a new pretty spot on a Sunday like a lake. Our kids are still small, under 8 years old and I'd rather not manage them alone. But DH has no interest. Perfectly fine staying home every single weekend, having the kids play in the yard. We have friends we see once in a blue moon with kids-- we meet up at a park, for example. That's all we do. DH just wants to tinker in the garage, bbq at home every weekend. It's been like this for months. I talk with friends on the phone, visit a friend or two here and there. Our families live far away so visiting them isn't an option. S[b]ome close friends invited us over for a little gathering in their yard with only them.[/b] DH isn't interested. I feel like we're going to drift away from some people.

I work full-time and my job sent everyone home months ago and we're expected to telework through the winter. That used to be a good outlet with occasional conference trips. Even back then DH wasn't interested in doing much. I've been trying to convince him to consider new things to do just for more variety. No dice. Maybe it's me? Is this just how it has to be?

Friends can be hard to come by.  Accept all friend invitations.  If DH does not want to go leave him home.  "Honey the kids at a great time over at Larlo and Larla's house.  
We stayed outside 6' apart and the kids had fun running around in the back yard.  Larlo asked where you were and everyone missed you."[/quote]
