You're not alone [s'cuse the pun!] ... nor is there anything at all unusual in feeling this way. I have a long-standing male friend who's ages with me. As we were both widowed and early-retired, he and I used to go hill-walking too (funnily enough) almost every Thursday. Then I went off to the Philippines for 3 weeks last September to meet Myrna, with whom I'd been corresponding for a year. In November, I went back out there to marry her and stayed for three months. She came to the UK in March and, to give her time to settle into her new environment, I seldom left the house without her accompanying me. And when I did, it was only for an hour or two at most ... and always during daylight.

In late Spring, I resumed my walks with my friend. But SHE came with us. Likewise, she was present on Friday nights when I'd been previously been in the habit of going out for a couple of beers in [normally] exclusively male company.

Now, however, with the lighter nights, she's perfectly content with remaining at home on her own. So don't despair ... it just takes time to adjust to a completely different lifestyle in [initially] strange surroundings.
