[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he say when you discuss this? Does he wish he had friends? I would lose my mind if my husband expected me to do every single things with him. But that would not make him a narcissist.

If he truly has no interest in having a hobby, making a friend, etc — then it sounds like you are deeply incompatible. None of that makes him a bad person, but you have to decide what to do about it. Because the only person you can change is yourself.[/quote]

He does feel bad that he doesn’t have friends. But he is difficult to get along with and has trouble making them, especially now that he doesn’t work in an office and doesn’t leave the house. He used to have a good amount of friends, especially at work that he’d get lunch with, but he’s lost touch with them and made zero effort. He keeps saying he’s trying to decide what activity he’d like to do to get out of the house but it’s literally been years that he’s been thinking about it. Like I said, this is not how he used to be and I think he’d be a much happier person if he had any friends locally. And more fun for me to be around. I am currently his entire social life.[/quote]

Have him start with activities that don’t involve leaving the house. He can get a kindle and find a good book series (or a podcast) to get into. He can play video games. He can get into smoking meats. [/quote]
