I hope you can get there too @Faith-and-Hope,
My mr being an introvert too @dands26
and I find even just sitting next to him holding each other`s hand while watching tv is good for him
what Gary Chapman believes is very interesting @dands26 and also remember to include self care for you too
I am still learning to get the right balance now and then

I suggest you take time out to look after you and recharge your own batteries @dands26. You need to protect yourself from carers burnout, or there will be two of you requiring support instead of one ..... and you will lose your ability to stand by him and help him.
