Quarantine and marriage

Anyone else having a hard time lately? My husband works in a nursing home and so we have been quarantined since the beginning. My job switched to remote work at home. I never see my friends or and barely see my family. They don’t make an effort to wear masks and it makes me and my husband uncomfortable so I don’t really visit with anyone. Texting has become a chore lately and so I find myself disengaged when I text with friends. No one likes phone calls anymore. I’m lonely. My husband has never been the chattiest guy around and he never has much motivation to do things together like going on walks(he’s on his feet all day). I made an effort to play video games with him too so I am trying. Usually when we aren’t quarantined I try to plan our dates and we will do it about once a month. Because of obvious Covid reasons we have not done anything all year pretty much. I feel so lonely. I accept my husband for who he is and that if we do stuff together I have to plan it and know that he will listen but he’s not good at talking back or discussing things so I have to rely on other people when it comes to conversation and depth etc. we’ve been together almost 6 years married for a little over a year. I’m comfortable with who we are and our strengths and weaknesses and our relationship. but Fuck quarantine is getting to me. My husband has been home all weekend and I feel like I have most of the time since Covid started. Sad. Alone. And unwanted. Nothing has changed in his behavior I think it’s just mine from being so isolated. I don’t want to make him feel bad.
