We play cards together. Some activity like that will get you interacting with each other, but it won't feel so scary. Oh and I second the walks! I love taking walks and intend to take one tonight, if at all possible.
H brought something interesting up the other night. He was listening to talk radio and the host was a psychiatrist. H said that every time a married person was calling in to complain about their spouse, he'd say, "Do you have a TV in your bedroom? Get rid of it!" lol
I have to agree with that advice. We briefly had a tv in our boudoir and it never got watched so we put it away. I think we had visions of us snuggling up together and watching movies, etc, but it never happened that way. One of us would fall asleep while the other tossed and turned and tried to tune out the noise and glare. It was NOT conducive to intimacy at all. There was no chance or opportunity or motivation for us to talk to each other and.........it invaded a sacred space, kwim? Our bedroom is a place for us to interact with each other as adults and grownups and people who have a deep interest in the other. Having a television just seemed to circumvent all situations in which we might have otherwise been forced to turn to each other for entertainment.
So for us it was a good thing to banish it to the basement. Others might have differing opinions but I found that without it, we were forced to find other ways to entertain ourselves and that only benefitted our M. (of course, when these activities are sexual, then I REALLY am thankful that the boob tube is in basement hell!:)
