[quote=Anonymous]First of all, if you love meeting new people, etc. why is it so not enjoyable to be with other people just because your husband isn’t around? I don’t understand how him not participating isjeapordizing your friendships? Are you going to these things and being miserable because he’s not there and you’re worries about what other people think? If that’s the case, you need to go and enjoy yourself, and not apologize for being there alone.

You can’t “convince him”, of anything, but you can let him know that his attending events on occasion is important to YOU as his partner. You then compromise and find an acceptable number of events that he can/will attend with you. You also then respect his need for time alone.

Now, when you say he would prefer to stay home and study, is this something extra that he is doing on top of regular life? Doing an MBA or whatever on top of having a job, etc. is no joke, and maybe he really does feel the need to focus and study more often than you would prefer.

You also need to be a grownup and understand that your friendships are yours, and your husbands extroversion and introversion have nothing to Do with you. In fact, it’s healthy to have friends of your own. [/quote]
