1. I'm incredibly lonely.
2. Once in a while, I would like to eat meals that someone else cooked and/or are fresh.[/quote]

You work from home. [i]Every [/i]meal you eat should be fresh. What's stopping you from cooking a nice meal for yourself at home? Are you really so completely incompetent in the kitchen that you can only eat leftovers?[/quote]

That covers 'fresh' but completely ignores 'someone else cooked'[/quote]

So go buy food from a restaurant! Why is this so hard?

I don't get the helplessness here. Is OP not allowed to talk to strangers except when her husband is present?![/quote]

NP. I agree that OP can do something about the situation, but her husband has a built-in social structure at the office and she doesn’t. Of course she can go out and make new friends but it’s much harder if you’re working from home. To have a group to go out to lunch with every day or even most days if the week can take years to build. [/quote]

Oh for sure, and it sounds like her husband is having a great time - and she is struggling. It would certainly be kind of him to take her out for lunch once a week - or at least out for dinner. But OP also needs to recognize that her husband can't be her whole social system. However hard it is, she has to put herself out in the world and meet some people of her own.[/quote]

Asking/expecting your husband to make space to have lunch with you once a week in a new place where you DON'T have the advantage of a built-in social structure is not asking your husband to "be her whole social system."

I think he's being a jerk.[/quote]
