the GAL is still kind of tricky if we're going to try to stay together



Maybe what you need right now is to GAL as a couple? I know it's hard to motivate your H, but what new activities could you do as a couple? Is he training you on the weight machine yet? Could you get him to join you in entertaining some friends at home or going out to a comedy club or joining a bowling league or taking some kind of lessons together or.....???? It seems to me that he has a void in his life as far as friends go, OW kind of filled that void. Doesn't sound like your H has any good male friends or good couple friends that you do things together with?
