Is there any way you can develop a new friendship or two? I am not underestimating the amount of time, energy and care you put into looking after your mother and her H, but it cannot be right that you have NO friends. Or at the very least, mutual friends that both you and H meet up with?
'Cause not having any friends puts pressure on the relationahip with your S, for expecting it to provide more that perhaps it can reasonably withstand.
Does your H have many friends?
I'm just thinking out loud - don't know the ins and outs of your situation. But EVERYONE needs friends - real ones, not just virtual ones, or online ones!!!
