Why does this happen, God only knows. I am not an introvert prson, but then neither am I very friendly. There are times when I long for a good friend in whome I can confide. Somehow, I fail to find such a friend. Is it because my husband is there for me, takes me out wherever I want to go etc. I love him, but cant really talk to him . I used to, but over the years our communication is a bit less than it used to be. I am a patient hearer and can give sound advice when needed, however I cant seem to really vibe with another person immediately. Is something wrong with me or am I just contented with my husband ?

Somehow, I feel I can relate to your predicament. I also used to have healthy and free conversations with my husband when we were still dating; but over time, some restrictions were imposed verbally or so I thought. As an effect, I felt quite restricted to do my thing anywhere and anytime I want to. I'm a friendly person but there's something that hinders me from continuing to be friendly. I believe nothing is wrong with you; it's just that you have been so complacent and used to having your husband beside you to stand as anyone you want him to be: father, friend, teacher, and husband. It's not wrong, though. Maybe you could talk your husband into the way you're feeling right now. Maybe have friends come over and I mean your friends throughout the years so that he knows them and he can be friends with them, too; and maybe he'll see that sometimes you need a "you" time, too. Good luck and God bless.
