[quote=Anonymous]My family is loud, opinionated and we like hanging out together, probably more so than other families.  We are a pretty active family, too - playing baseball, football, beach volleyball, water sports, cards, board games.  My DH is not necessarily an introvert, but it all gets to be too much for him after a while.  He will go to bed early (my family is a bunch of night owls), or will leave for a few hours and run to the store or something.  But the rest of the time he is engaged - chatting with people, helping with meals, playing volleyball or whatever.  He isn't off in a corner being antisocial.  No one in my family bats an eye when he takes off or goes to bed early because he's socializing the rest of the time.

However, there are few people who married into the family that are antisocial ALL of the time and then take off early or need "alone" time.  They are perceived as being "quiet" and "not very much fun".  I am always the first one to point out that they probably just need a break from us!  But we don't take offense to their actions.  If anything, my family is very inclusive of anyone who wants to spend time with us but if you don't want to, that's perfectly ok, too.[/quote]
