What I read in that^^ is "W, I still have no outside interests or friends.

Manhope, why would you believe your answer was anything but an attempt to look like martyr and guilt her some more?

What have you CHANGED about you? Yes Yes, I know, "more time at home" but before hand your only outlet was work and home.

Now, your outlets are "work and home" but in different ratios. There has to be some CHANGE...change she can believe in.

Here's the "math" of it:

small incremental changes + sufficient time = change she can believe in

Surely there were hobbies or passions that you once were interested in?
