In tough times it's especially important that we care for ourselves. You're going through some big changes at home and I think it's great that you're allowing yourself to get out and spend time away from the house with friends. I used to get really resentful towards my husband for not being able to "get it together" and go out. In the long run I could have saved us both a lot of headache had I just gone it alone. Good for you for figuring that out sooner rather than later. Wishing you well.

I have been struggling with emotions around this, especially since my husband is now on dialysis, so we are facing other strains on our marriage, and a lack of joy in our lives. Luckily, my husband is super supportive that I go out and have fun on my own or with friends. If I can get one good day a week from him where we relax together at home or run errands it is a win in my life right now. Thanks for reminding me what is important, and how each of us need different things to recharge... home versus people/activities.

I'm perfectly content most of the time being at home doing my hobbies etc and hate to have plans on a Sunday, it is a day of rest people!! Being in Mount Isa too I think has emphasised this as there's just not much at all to do if you don't like camping or drinking all the time. Or eating in the same few places that serve mediocre food...<br /><br />I think sometimes though it's more the thought of going somewhere, like say a night out, I'll get almost stressed about the social situation then when I get there I'm totally fine and enjoy myself. <br /><br />Loved this post :)<br />XOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-77124237473163039552014-07-07T12:35:38.575-07:002014-07-07T12:35:38.575-07:00Ha!

Like everything else it's a balance that you learn to navigate in order to make it work. I like it that you said homebodies are not lazy. I feel so lazy sometimes because I'd rather stay home which is me being hard on myself because it's not like I don't work and take care of stuff around the house.Cece @Mahogany Drivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851435478630045969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-89952680174700514122014-07-05T13:58:23.614-07:002014-07-05T13:58:23.614-07:00I am a huuuuuuuuuge homebody!I am a huuuuuuuuuge homebody!Amanda - Voyage of the MeeMeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820601784610439713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-4189537741922911702014-07-05T11:32:21.224-07:002014-07-05T11:32:21.224-07:00ugh i have a love/hate relationship with my husban...ugh i have a love/hate relationship with my husband because of his homebody-ness. it makes me so crazy. like you, i can dig it a couple weekends a month, but when we do go out and his anti-social and just sits almost like a bump on the log, it can really ruin my mood!

Rich and I match each other pretty well when it comes to being homebodies, we both LOVE being at home, with a few outings sprinkled in here and there. <br />But there are things he won't do, like going to the movies (weird, right? He hates the smell of popcorn and too many people in one place), so I have a girlfriend I do that with. Number 5 is spot on: we don't have to do everything with our partner, it's totally okay doing things alone or with other people!<br />I hope you're having a fun weekend!<br />xo<br /> Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-6015016592219744082014-07-05T09:13:35.683-07:002014-07-05T09:13:35.683-07:00Wow, I've discovered that I've been here b...Wow, I've discovered that I've been here before because I am a San Diego blogger too- and you're on the SD Style bloggers blog roll---and then I rediscovered your blog through Mariah (who actually commented above me.). Sadly, I'm leaving, but I just read through this post and I have the exact same problem with my husband. He is a serious homebody, which is why I find myself leaving him at home and going out either alone, which I don't mind, or with other friends. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this challenge and who can make it work. It's really tough sometimes, but I still love him and I know he isn't going to be out at the strip club or something crazy like that. LOL. Not that he'd never be able to go on certain occasions, but you know what I mean! <br /><br />See you around later and maybe we'll run into each other whenever I get back and go to an SD blogger meetup! <br /><br />Jessica LAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936922980905073030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-28517323823321706332014-07-05T08:58:08.759-07:002014-07-05T08:58:08.759-07:00Love you Shannon!

I'm more like you & learned if I want to go someplace & he doesn't, I just go, it's not worth forcing him to go or do something he doesn't want to do because I stress out. We always have home time so it balances out. Besides its healthy for a relationship to have your alone time and individual interests.
