How would I do this without making him feel lonely?

[Steelers<3]

Please guide me if I'm wrong... But typically men love an independent woman. They would rather see that a woman is capable of mnaging her own life rather then feeling like she needs him or she will go insane.. Am I kind of in the right area?

Well.. Lets just say, me and him are never apart besides work. He gets home rather late, 8pm and I am home at 5pm. Its been the exact same routine for quite a while now and I'm just looking to change things up.

Routine:
He gets home, I hand him his dinner, get him a drink. I will go make lunches, do dishes etc while he eats.
I pick up his plate, sit on the couch for 30 mins and watch tv with him ask him how his day was...
Eventually go get a shower.
When I'm done he's in the bedroom playing xbox.
He will play for a while, and I will read the kindle or something.. And then he will go get a shower.
By the time he is out I usually fall asleep from boredom.

THE END!

I'm thinking that he needs to miss me a little and I, him. We are new to this state so we don't really know anyone. I was thinking about starting by taking my runs after he gets home, but would eventually like to do something like a yoga class, and I'm thinking he might get the "hey I kind of miss her feeling" and make more of an effort to spend time with me. At the same time we are sharing a car now, and I wouldn't want to leave him alone without any way to go do something on his own either.

He's very well taken care of, I basically run the entire house/bills/chores and he just works, and I might ask him to pick up the dog shit every once in a while.. I feel like we are the most boring couple alive BLAH..

HI
Nice to hear about your story, I dont think that him missing you will change things much. What you do need is some excitment. Try to do activities after work and on the weekends. Activities which include the both of you and fun. You said "he is very well taken care of" you are not his mother, let him take the load a bit while you go shopping. Go out with out him. And that xbox, you should have never let it in the bedroom. Bedroom is for sleeping, sex and romance not for kidi games.
Have dinner together and chat not one by one, wash the dishes together. Least you can do is not watch tv every night, do something else. Have a bath together to spice things up. If he is to attached to the xbox you will need to compete, so offer him something it cant.
Regards. From one lady to another
