Worth a try

One of the things out marriage counselor said I need to do more of was be
social with people other than my wife. While I explained that didn’t make
a whole lot of sense to me as I’m trying to get my wife to give up the
other man in her life and stick with me. My going off and doing other
things without her doesn’t seem to me to be a path to that.
But, he assures me it is. That if my wife doesn’t seem as smothered by me
she won’t feel the need to escape as much. And, there is sense in that.
Now the only problem is: what to do?
I have never been that much of a social person. (Even when there were
parties at my apartment every weekend, it was mostly other people coming to
where I was.) So, I don’t have any kind of list of things I’ve longed to
be doing.
Any suggestions?
Any of you folks who are local interested in doing stuff with me?
(Those of you not local are certainly welcome, but it would be on a much
less often basis.)
I like: movies, bike riding (pedal, not motor), sword fighting, museums,
most card/board games, bowling, reading, history, shopping (not for
clothes), music that isn’t too loud, eating, most types of performance,
performing in front of a crowd...
I don’t like: Drinking, most sports, cars, crowds, loud music
Of course this is only a list of things off of the top of my head. I’m
sure there are things on both lists I’m forgetting. And, I’m sure there
are things for both lists I don’t know about yet.
But, I’m willing to try.
Anyone out there willing to help?
