I know. I just prefer not to involve romantic or sexual dynamics in those circles.

I’ve already got my hobbies and activities. It’s not new friends that I’m missing.

My wife and I have always been independent in our marriage. Our separation was simply a long, honest conversation followed by her moving into her own place. We’ll probably divorce at some point, but it’s not a priority for either of us. Lifestyle-wise, nothing has really changed for me. I’m not lacking company - just sexual and romantic companionship specifically.
