We have found that games together can be a great way to spend time. We play Magic, and just a lot of the really neat board and card games that are out now, we really like San Juan, Lost Cities, there's a tile laying game that is great called Carcassone that I love and he tolerates.
It's a great way to bond.
And I think I do feel better if he's playing his game in the same room with me than if he's off in his corner...
My hubby goes out every Saturday night too, he plays D & D with some friends. They've invited me to come along but DH is very against it. I think he wants to have his own thing by himself, I understand even though it kind of hurts my feelings a little. It'd be nice to have couple friends... but that's ok.
I'm off to eat something and then get stoned - er, i mean take some Sudafed. Same thing though, really.
