AnswerHello Tina,
You are normal,if there is such a thing.Talk to him about spending more time with you at home.If he says no,tell him it is time to talk to a counselor about your marriage.
I understand that you are tired at night,don't try to change the weekdays for him.All it will do is put you in a bad mood.On the weekends if he wants to go out with his friends go along and visit with the people.You are just new to the area and it will take some time to make new friends.
If his friends and you don't hit it off,find some of your own.Whatever hobbies or things that you are interested in, try to find others that have the same interests.
Join a neighborhood watch,church group,or volunteer your services to organizations such as a Hospice group.
Keep yourself occupied.
The first 7 years are the hardest in a marriage.It is a time to adapt to each others needs.
All you can do is try your best.If nothing else talk with your minister about the marriage.They are very good listeners and can help more then you know.
