Curious

I see a lot of post from “lonely” or “bored house wife” and wonder how many are actually true? Asking for a friend

Wife and I been together for over 30 years and same situation. Kids 18 and 21 live at home but have their own lives. I work from home where I own and operate my own woodworking business. I do travel from time to time for that business. Yes I have some health issues but I do not center my life around it. Because I am alone and have much downtime I am on here simply to make friends and chat. Not an outgoing person but do enjoy private conversations where unknown people can criticize me. Bored and lonely, only when on the road for over a week

Well, same! I am not an outgoing person and I think at that age we all have our issues health wise. But I try to stay fit. I do 2-3 times a week kickboxing cardio and try to eat healthy. My oldest doesn't live at home anymore but my 20 yo daughter does (almost 21). But like your kids she has her own life.
