[quote=Anonymous]I wrote a similar post a few years ago and got eviscerated.  DH was always an introvert but enjoyed social activities and parties when we were dating and first got married.  Fast forward fifteen years and he has a much more demanding job and wants his evenings and weekends to decompress since the effort of being outgoing and engaging all week is draining for him.  I totally get that but it does impact us as a family.

Other couples and families like to do things as, you guessed it, couples or families. How many times will people invite us to get together when it's only me and my kids who show.  Sooner or later the other husband is going to get tired of feeling like a third wheel without my spouse there.  Or the other couples are gracious but take it personally that DH doesn't want to spend time with them or with his own family.  We don't have family in the area, so having a circle of friends is important to me, and I think it's important for our kids.

It's hard, OP.  I feel for you and wish I had answers.  [/quote]
