We don't have any, it is just the two of us.....shall I tell him he should make of the most we have the time alone LOL

Maybe he sees the younger lot socialising and having lots of fun and wants the same for himself?

I don't think he's doing anything wrong, especially as the messages going back and forth seem to be normal and friendly.

And don't forget, he did come back on New Years Eve, maybe he stayed longer because he was having fun, and knew if he came home it would be same old same old?

Why don't you branch out a bit and do something he would like to do, (who knows you may enjoy yourself!) then once you have done that, ask him to do something you would like to do?

You're not old, you're only 50 (not sure how old your hubby is), you have plenty of life in you to go out and find something you both enjoy doing.

I don't think he's having a mid life crisis actually, i think he's just trying to relieve his youth a little and trying to make the most out of his life, rather than being stuck at home doing the same thing day in day out.

This is the important part. You are rarely interacting together and are drifting apart. I don't think facebook is the problem, if it wasn't that then it would be a faceless forum like this one.

I think you need to reassess your lifestyles and make some changes. He's not noticing you, why? Is there any little gestures you can make which he will appreciate - personal to him or hobbies he has. Can you get a dvd to watch together. How about dressing up a little or new undies for bedtime. A new hobby together.

It's more about giving him a better reason to stay off facebook than trying to close down what he thinks is his only gateway to something different than boring life.

I shouldn't be telling you this but we played bowling on the kids wii at 2am this morning - naked:rotfl:

Couldn't agree more! And thankfully my laptop has survived having coffee sprayed all over it from your last sentence! :eek: :rotfl:

How about dancing (lessons), going to gigs together, go to the theatre, cinema, travel. You're only 50,for goodness sake, it sounds as if you're about ready for your box! My parents/step-parents, all in their 60s, are never in & my in-laws (late 70/80s) have a far more exciting social life than we have time for. My FILs current obsession is researching the family tree & getting his head around the internet to help him do that.
It often seems to happen that couples drift apart once the kids have grown up, but you have a chance to stop it. Going for a meal is ok if there's nothing better to do, but there's fun to be had out there, go grab some for the both of you. Your comments do come across a bit on the negative side, maybe they do to him too if he's coming up with ideas & you're constantly knocking him back.
I don't get Facebook myself. I can see it's good for keeping in touch with far flung rellies or friends, but more than that it seems odd to me (plus I never understand how people have the time!) Have to agree with an earlier poster that said if it were not Facebook it would be something else.
Best of luck!
