I'd suggest that perhaps there is a third choice you could make - how about getting out of the house and going somewhere else? I don't know where you live but if you are near a city of any kind I would guess there might be libraries, museums, parks, or other places you might be able to go enjoy something different?
Hi, Scott. I'm in South Africa, which has become a real third-world country since 1994 and ANC rule. State- and Municipal-run places like museums and libraries all close around 4 in the afternoon, and going to a park in the evening is just looking to be robbed - or worse. Also - South Africa has this drinking-culture, it seems; you can go to very few places where people don't drink. I live outside of town in any way, and taking a walk by myself is just as dangerous.
Thanks for the suggestion in any way, but believe me, I have thought of all possible ways out - even for just a few hours - many times...
