Everyone was working from home, and it felt like a dream job, but now that everyone’s back to their normal lives, I’ve been stuck at home, and I feel isolated and lonely. I feel out of touch and have started to feel depressed. I gained weight and became more solitary than I previously was. Nowadays I work from home, watch TV, make dinner, wait for my boyfriend to come home, we watch TV together and I start the day over again. He works 10-hour days, after which he just wants to watch TV and rest. When we do go out, it’s for grocery shopping and other errands and we argue all the time. I’ve been feeling neglected, and it feels like I’m not a priority anymore despite multiple conversations. So finally, three weeks ago, he brought me out to dinner at a nice place and we had a wonderful time! The weekend after that, he bought me flowers and scones from a local bakery, and I started to feel like he was making me a priority again. Then last weekend he proposed, and I said yes. Now I’m worried I just said yes because there wasn’t a reason to say no, the relationship is “good” and “safe,” and breaking up and moving out would be messy and hard. I know he would be a great father and husband one day, and he’s a very sweet and a genuinely caring person. He is the type of guy you would want to marry. Am I doing this for the wrong reasons? — Worried I think you know you are without my having to say it. “Good” and “safe” are neither if you’re lonely, depressed, isolated, overeating, out of touch and deep in a repetitive domestic rut. He may be as great a person as you say, and even as good a match for you as you’ve told yourself he is. You trust him, you respect him, and when you voiced your ongoing concerns about feeling neglected, he listened to you and made “genuinely caring” changes. But that doesn’t mean you have enough to build on, or are anywhere near ready to build. That’s because you have not made yourself enough of a priority, lapsing into dependency on the quality of one person’s attention. No mate can be everything, for anyone. Some of this you will need to say to your fiance. That you appreciate how attentive he has been, for start ers. That you realize now it wasn’t all on him that you felt so neglected. That losing touch with friends and working from home and cycling from job to TV to sleep is not healthy for people who’ve barely cracked open their 20s — or for anyone, really. But some of this you will have to reckon with fully on your own. Your relationship will either adapt and improve as you take bet ter care of yourself, or you will grow strong enough to address the fact that it hasn’t kept up. Either one beats living your life by default. Chat with Carolyn online at noon each Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.
