I am also a homebody and spend a lot of time alone. I was married for 20 years and, sorry to say, it was abusive in several ways. It's taken a long time to recover and I am still pretty quiet and shy. I try sometimes to be more outgoing but it's just not ME. I don't talk a lot in person so "going out" is mainly an exercise in people watching and listening.
I talk with my 3 children several times a week. I work with people 5 days a week. So what if I like to go home and relax and do things that I want to do?
My parents have passed away, my father just a year ago, and I have decided that I'm going to see the places I've always wanted to see because "someday" might never come. My eldest daughter and I are planning a trip to Paris and Rome. My sister and I are going on a trip in April and we have our flights and hotels booked.
I do want a love in my life but not sure if marriage is something I will do again. It's hard to find someone when I don't want to go out!!
