I'm lonely in my marriage - is there anyway to get my husband to do more things with me?

Asked by Gabby101 (2950points) August 28th, 2011

My husband and I just moved to the LA/Orange County area, where, obviously, there are a ton of fun things to do. My husband refuses to do any of it, though. We were supposed to go to Disneyland today, but now he is refusing because he says it really doesn’t interest him. I’m so disappointed – he knows it, he just doesn’t care. I don’t have any friends here and I don’t want to spend all of my time alone. I was in the same situation in our old city, but at least I had some work friends that I could hang out with occasionally after work. I am of an age when most people are married or if they’re single, they have children (I don’t), so it’s difficult to make friends and furthermore, it’s embarrassing to tell people that your husband doesn’t want to do anything with you. How I hate Mondays mornings and Friday afternoons when everyone is talking about their weekends. I know from experience that when his friends ask him to go to a nice restaurant or do something fun, he will go – he just doesn’t want to do these things with me. He says he doesn’t want to waste money, but he again, he will spend it when he’s with his friends. Should I give up or is there something I can do?
