It's great that you and your wife are going to be able to spend some time away from the internet next week. It seems like a lot of us have lost sight with just how beneficial real life interactions are for us, both for our individual health as well as the health of our social groups. I'm not going to pretend to have any advice for you or your wife's situation, but I will say that the more time I spend interacting with people in meat space the more I want to dedicate my time to interacting with people in meat space. Something tells me I'm probably not alone in feeling that way and that there's probably significance in that.
Yeah... we have heavily isolated ourselves from our community ever since the election (and some intra-community kerfuffle), and we don't watch TV, so our news and information comes from the internet in various forms. It's time to get out and have drinks with friends again. And explore the world...
