Hi CL, I think I'm trying to achieve a couple things. Here's the scenario: my H and I have very different hobbies; he doesn't do mine; I don't do his - and the nature of them makes it very difficult (if not impossible) for either of us to 'try' each others out. His main hobby keeps him out of town a lot during summer weekends, with a group of people I have nothing in common with. Makes it tough to tag along - they talk about little else other than their sport so I feel like a fifth wheel there. But sitting at home alone is becoming problematic too, and leaving me feeling abandoned, now that I'm not using work as an avoidance mechanism.
So I'm trying to -find things to do together that we can both truly enjoy (makes me kind of sad that the things that 'light us both up' are the things we do seperate from one another), plus -learn how to be more comfortable, independent and enjoying my own thing (that isn't work!) while he's away.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
