Thank you for your perspective, it is very helpful. I know just sitting there isn’t enough, which is why I asked for advice here. I am just not a big talker and I don’t want to him think I’m not interested in him because I am and I want to be present in his life. I will try to plan to do something together with him instead of just sitting around.
These are all good ideas, thank you for posting them. I will try some of these out.
Thank you for your good advice. He’s a smart guy and I definitely don’t plan on going anywhere, I intend to remain in his life as long as he’ll allow it.
I will not drink today, but I’m not gonna pretend I’m happy about it. I decided to try the “Sober October” challenge and I’ve only managed 1 day so far (I did not drink yesterday). I’ve realized I’m just getting too old to drink the way I have been for a long time, and I honestly feel sad that I’m going to have to leave that lifestyle behind, because I’ve always enjoyed drinking and had a lot of fun doing it (judge me if you want to, I don’t care), but I just can’t hang the way I used to, and it’s bumming me out.
Thank you for this, some of these things are good ideas, some, for me, not so much (‘do crazy things’) haha
