Both parties need to be cognizant of what the other person loves/needs to do for themselves, too. I suppose this is that "compromise" thing again? ;-) And, the shoe is also on the other foot!

Your willingness to do so may fairly be assessed by asking yourself if you have any shoes in your closet that you have had for more than 10 years, without having worn them a single time. If so, you are going to have trouble giving up anything, for Husband or anyone else. It boils down to an attitude that "the way things were" (when you were single) "is the way things were supposed to be." Don't confuse what you used to do to fill time, with what you need to do to be happy. Sometimes old habits are just that....old habits. Like old shoes, many aren't worth keeping!
