Thank you for your perspective, it is very helpful. I know just sitting there isn't enough, which is why I asked for advice here. I am just not a big talker and I don't want to him think I'm not interested in him because I am and I want to be present in his life. I will try to plan to do something together with him instead of just sitting around.
Thank you for your good advice. He's a smart guy and I definitely don't plan on going anywhere, I intend to remain in his life as long as he'll allow it.
I will not drink today, but I'm not gonna pretend I'm happy about it. I decided to try the "Sober October" challenge and I've only managed 1 day so far (I did not drink yesterday). I've realized I'm just getting too old to drink the way I have been for a long time, and I honestly feel sad that I'm going to have to leave that lifestyle behind, because I've always enjoyed drinking and had a lot of fun doing it (judge me if you want to, I don't care), but I just can't hang the way I used to, and it's bumming me out.
I won't drink today
Thank you for this, some of these things are good ideas, some, for me, not so much ('do crazy things') haha

These are all good ideas, thank you for posting them. I will try some of these out.
