Once you hit certain age, your day-to-day life become too routine, become less exciting. Your spouse may have his/her share of difficulties, ie men always had to work hard to service their debt/overhead/allowance, whereas ladies generally bog down with family chores, or office work, or simply mental stress from menopause.

You need to spice up your life. If your old friends/buddies all had their own lives, cant be as contactable, in the same predicament as you.
Build a bucket list, a list of things u wish to do in your life.

Your neighbourhood RC or CC had nice social events, where u could get acquainted with new friends to build a new social circle.
As for family life, create a get-together outing with your family. Travel is good start. Even busy people need to take a break from busy schedules.

For me, guy in the mid-50s, I led a boring life, 2 adult dotters, and a homemaker wife, during in my times in 40s, my weekends mostly alone, all my friends all are uncontactable/busy.. i started to look into my own welfare, and deviate from the family-first mentality.

I had to be adventurous, and seek out new acquaintance, and go travelling with friends, drinking out with new friends, and even go tour together.

I do spend time with my wife, eating out,attending local/overseas concerts, travel to Genting frequently.

Just be positive, even if you led a boring stale life.
Having a positive optimistic attitude you would able to venture into better life.

If you wish to rant about your life, I can be your listening ear..
