Husband, I'm glad to hear about your plans for Friday night. I think it's important that you start to enjoy yourself alone. If you start to make some connections, even better.
I think you suffer partly because you hover around the R too much. You're watching it too closely, "waiting for the water to boil."
Our situations force us to be independent again (or for the first time). Make sure you do things that would be enjoyable for you, rather than just to be busy.
