I asked if she had visited any clubs or interest groups and she said she just stays in her house all day and all night while her husband plays golf in the day and goes out with golfing friends at night to local watering holes.
Just from a wannabee's perspective...this woman may not be giving TV a fair shot. If all she does is stay at home all day and night without trying to get involved in something -- club, class, volunteer project, golf lessons, pickleball, etc. I believe some people "choose" to be unhappy. I hope she finds some happiness here. Just my 2 cents.
