Should I tell my daughter I don’t think her boyfriend is right for her?

I was coming in ready to say yes until I read your post. This is too personal, she needs to do what she can live with. An extrovert married to an introvert could be real issues. Motivated & confident introverts make friends all the time. Maybe there are other reasons you had difficulties. Maybe your daughter will be happy spending most time with her spouse.

People are different. My daughter is an Introvert and has always had a big group of friends and makes new friends all the time. My son is extroverted but prefers only one close friend or a very small group.

Maybe you feel like you are missing something but that is a you problem. Don't put it on to her. The next time you wish for more friends you could vocalize it as a personal thing "I wish I had a friend to go to x with, sometimes me and your dad don't prioritize that as much as might be healthy for us". But really, this is on you, not an introvert issue. And just because extroverts might get out a lot, doesn't mean they make meaningful friends.

There are many posts on this board where the poster is unhappily in a relationship where one person is introverted and one is extroverted. At the utmost, you can tell her once that you wish your DH was more extroverted, to help pull you out of your shell a bit. Maybe you can gently ask if she’s ever felt like that. Then drop it.

Short answer: Hell no. Might drive them more together than apart

I have not read the other replies but I have a good friend an a guy I dated briefly many years ago who both attribute their divorces largely to being an introvert married to an extrovert or vice versa. The two people I know were on opposite sides of the equation, and both thought it hard on their relationship and exhausting and frustrating to be married to the other.
