Go for it...
I struggled a bit the first few 'official' weeks of doing it but we are all MUCH happier now and Isabelle is learning way more than she did at school and is so much happier! I feel like I have my daughter back!
To avoid stropping for the TV we go out, do activities etc - and no amount of stropping changes my mind

You can DEFINATELY do it and I agree with Shadow - take him out of nursery now if he's not happy, get yourself subscribed to the local HE groups in your area and start looking into activities now, getting out and about works well for us but we don't do stuff every day as we'd be shattered!!

We have a few regular things we do but we also have 'down' days where the girls take the lead and do a lot of imaginative play (and I can do laundry!)
As for friends? If you get involved with local HE groups he'll make plenty of friends no bother

And he'll learn to socialise better than he will do being 'made' to get on with 30 kids his own age...
I think sometimes it's hard for us to go against our partners wishes as afterall we are a partnership and both have responsibilities in bringing up our children but when it comes down to it we become the mother fox who defends her young so viciously and ferociously - it's a natural instinct and NOTHING no nothing will get in our way and woe betide anyone who does
