I am HD in my M. We have dogs that I show and do other stuff with, and we both belong to the breed club and do events with them. I also go out with friends dancing and parties, mostly alone, because he would rather just stay home and watch TV which I do not care for. He does go sometimes with me, but in the past 5 years or so I have just given up on him going and go when I want to. This is second M for both of us and both have grown children, so its just he, I and the 3 (4 legged kids) at home.
Still, if we had a satisfying relationship I would stay home, but I do not consider sitting in front of the TV watching Sci-fi an evening of fun.
I think its great you are getting a little hobby/interest on the side. I signed up for a belly dancing class which starts next tuesday night
