But be careful of the false contentment that can come with this as a lifestyle. You could have been describing me just a year or so ago. I had a heart attack in January and finally realized I had to change things - job, diet, lifestyle. I hadn't dated in YEARS and thought that was just dandy. I'm in a new job, down 33 pounds, and dating an old friend. And I am happier than I ever was couchlocked. You do you, people, but keep your mind open to different options.
It would help a great deal if the husband and wife had common interests that could help them get out together. When they don't is where the issues come up.
As well, it may not be that he doesn't want to go to places, but that he can't afford it. Everything's so EXPENSIVE nowadays...
I really like your observations about life and the humans. I imagine that you're a good people watcher. I like watching people too. And when I do, I always ask myself, how much time do people invest in being with each other? How much time do they take to go deeper, be considerate, be open.
Or has life come to the point where we're there for others entertainment. That's we're this or that. Like every body is a Taurus. And, that we must feel compelled to explain a failed attempt at being funny because the others lack the context, or the other might have the 'trauma'. I digress.
That capitalism has infiltrated our brains to make us feel like staying home is the safest place... So that they can pump more ads into our brains, were now a bunch of zombies forgetting what human interaction is.
Whether it's binging on the social media 30 second streams, or playing video games, it seems to me that the world is one big boring, safe place. Hooray for promoting sensitivity and self esteem.
But then I go to my rock climbing gym and see people interacting and challenging themselves and each other and think, I hope this place doesn't become too popular. Which means I'm being a hypocrite. And I am in this case, it's not a universal trait though.
Jail. Mental Jail. Is where we are putting ourselves. Living vicariously through electrons, instead of being vulnerable. We created this mess.
I'm married, but I made clear from the very beginning to any woman that I'm a homebody. I do chores -- I vacuum (I like vacuuming and can't stand dirty floors) and wash the dishes and do laundry. But I also play video games a lot. It's probably why I've been single most of my life, but I'm okay with that. I'd love to play video games with a significant other, but most women don't want to play video games. They want to go for a walk. I don't know why their leisure activity outweighs mine.

That's the thing. Michelle is in a well-heeled field. Trust me, they can afford that bougie ish.
