@Michelle-PSL, First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I do know what you’re saying. And you are right to spend time with your husband – maybe equal time – I don’t always spend those hours playing the guitar as I do some prep work and study the material, making notes for fingering new runs, chords etc. That way I can be available in the same room as my husband who reads with the tv on, but I’m not playing the guitar.
I usually announce my practice time or VOM time and he’s ok with that. I slowed down as well, attending probably 2 VOMs weekly. If he’s gone somewhere, I’ll log onto the Zoom. Otherwise, I love peace and harmony and like you, I’ve missed so many years of opportunity to grow musically. Now is my time. But I want to be diplomatic about it all.
