[quote=Anonymous]Yes this is me. Mid 40s. Work full time from home. Very very busy job.

We had a big home renovation last year that lasted for a year, and we moved into a rental in a more remote part of our town. We almost completely checked out of our social life for the last six months - drive was too far. Also disengaged from a lot of ds extracurriculars, with the plan to re engage upon return to our house. Dh and I were both extremely surprised that, instead of having cabin fever and irritation with being cooped up in a small house just the three of us, we had the most wonderful year we can remember. We really enjoyed being checked out from everyone. I still spend 10 hours a day engaging with work colleagues plus my family lives nearby and we actually saw them more than we typically do.

So I guess I’m still having a ton of engagement with people and a very busy life, but what I have less interest in is filling my time with friends. If you’re not my every day immediate circle (ie my husband son and parents) I figured out that everyone else is kind of replaceable and not that important. Even friends. When I retire in my 50s and ds is gone, I suspect I’ll need that connection again. [/quote]
