The mariage has been reduced to "best buddies", going with him to trade shows and yard work.
Sorry it is still that way. I remember you talking about the trade shows, which are nice in a way but understand you want/need more than that.

Any chance of you doing something with the women your age, no work involved and just do something that is strictly enjoyable?

Maybe your H needs to miss what you bring to the R, like don't cook for him if you go out. What I am getting at is sort of like the saying "you don't miss the water till the well runs dry"

Mo going to T.O.P.S. sort of has BB asking questions about the women in the group. I didn't go to make BB jealous but don't mind her being a little curious. I think it is doing us some good. My main goal is to lose 20#, it will be good for my health and maybe BB will see me as more valuable. Who knows what might happen or what is going on sometimes.

I know just going out and interacting with people with similar interests and observing how other people do things is better than sitting at home watching TV or doing the same things over and over again.
