mej2000,
You sound a lot like me, but you're much younger and haven't been married as long as I have.
I'm going to assume that you don't have any children yet, am I correct? If so, do you plan on having any? If so, I assure you once that happens you will no longer be bored. :wink: (children fill a lot of empty and busy space)
I am an introvert at heart myself. I wouldn't have much problem not having more then a few important people in my life circle. I don't have any problems talking with people, I just leave it at that instead of getting anymore involved. I find I'm happy and fulfilled with those who are in my life now, as well as with what interests I have.
It sounds to me that you are somewhat confused about what kind of life you should have. The fact that your husband is a social butterfly doesn't mean you have to be one, unless you want to be.
If you aren't happy with yourself the way you are, then that is something you need to work on. But, if you enjoy being the way you are, then learn to accept your differences, be at ease with them.
Do you ever question the motives of why your husband chose you, being the two of you are so different? If so, have you considered that be the reason why? (Also why you are attracted to him)
Do you like to work-out? That is something that can be time consuming, as well as ehjoyable. It does make me feel better about myself.
Have you ever considered gardening as an interest or hobby? Once I started getting involved, I couldn't stop. The only thing stopping me now is our long cold winter, but I'll be back at it in the spring.
Do you have any pets? Dogs are great companions and love to go for walks, and visit the doggy exercise parks.
If you'd like, we can discuss this issue further by e-mail. I understand where you're coming from, and have an idea about where you want to be, but know you're not really sure if that's where you really want to be.
If that made any sense to you then I know we have something in common. My e-mail address is
