[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say he hadn't made couple friends...but has he made friends?  What has stopped those friends from being couple friends? [/quote]

He used to make friends 20+ years ago.  But hasn't made  friends since we moved 20 years ago.  He relies on me for his social life.[/quote]

But it doesn't sound like you have friends now so is he content with that?  Or is he on your case to make new friends on his behalf?   Does he have any hobbies? [/quote]

It has been up to me to make friends.  I was the one who got to know other women and then invited the couple to happy hour or hiking or dinner etc...

You are right, I don't have friends now. We haven't been out with another couple since last summer.  I'm burned out trying to do it all for a social life.  DH goes to work, eats lunch with peers and then comes home and watched sci fi.  Weekends we stay home unless I initiate.  I'm just done with DH tagging along putting in no effort.[/quote]

The problem is that it sounds like DH is content.  You're not going to be able to force him to make couple friends if he's happy with his current social situation.  If YOU want friends, YOU have to make them.  It doesn't have to be couple friends.  Join an activity related to your own hobby and make friends.  It sounds like much of your life was tied up in your daughter.  So now is time to do stuff for yourself.  Obviously can't do much now, but what are your own hobbies?  [/quote]
