It's funny, because I love isolating, like shopping but hate malls so do most of my shopping online except for make-up and my TJ-Maxx runs. I had a friend who goes to the mall every damn day....she lives around the corner and we don't talk much anymore as we didn't have much in common.
She loved going clubbing every weekend as "girls night out" and that's cool....just not my scene. Did plenty of that in the past and if I need to get away I go to my friend's house next door or across the street.
She criticized my lifestyle when my husband traveled all the time..."I would never put up with that; I couldn't live like that" meanwhile she's itching to get away from her husband. Umm, am I supposed to tell my husband to quit a good job that he loves? That's selfish. It was tough at times but I got used to it and the kids and I had a good routine going. I'm not a baby; quite the opposite.
Getting back to shopping, my husband loves grocery shopping and I hate it, so he does the majority of it. I do tease him as he'll be gone for 2 hours but in his words "he likes putting around." One of my sisters thinks it's so weird and asked me if he's having an affair. 
I'm like at 8am on a Sunday morning when he hasn't showered (at least he brushes he teeth before he goes) I would hope not....nah...not happening.
This discussion makes me think of the book by Tom Perrota "Little Children" which was a great movie with Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson about the bizarre characters and stereotypes of gender and suburbia.
