[quote=Anonymous]DH and I generally like the same people but sometimes we don't see eye to eye on who to get together with. He's made some new friends who just don't seem to have a lot of time to get together ever. He'll talk about wanting to invite them over but nothing ever works out, mostly because they also have small children (we have two kids under 10) and are busy with family stuff, illness, activities, etc.

I have a few colleagues I've become good friends with who always want to get together. They don't have kids or have children who are much older; therefore, their time is more flexible. DH has met them and likes them but just isn't as enthusiastic about getting together with them as he is about his friends. When we talk about inviting people over he never mentions them-- he just keeps pushing for his friends who are not available and/or never even reciprocate (my friends reciprocate and extend invitations back).

I'd like him to see the value of my friends-- they are very kind and pleasant to get together with. He actually has a lot in common with one of them. I know you can't lead a horse to water but sometimes I feel like we'll never see anyone if we always try to rely on the people he keeps pushing us to hang out with, to no avail. Or do we just need to have our own separate sets of friends?
