[quote=Anonymous]I am a introvert wife. He has a hobby. He does that hobby. I am ok with him doing that hobby (right now that hobby has shifted to finishing his dissertation, but in general he has something that allows him to get out and socialize. I NEVER care when we wants to go out. Movie with six people - cool, enjoy. Drinks after work, have fun. Everyone from your high school graduating class is joining a zoom call at 3pm, do it.

I have asked him to let me what things are important to him. He wants me to attend work things. He wants me to attend something with this couple. He wants me to see this movie. I will make time and do those things and will push myself (I HATE going to work social events with families but it matters so I do it). The trade off is he does not get upset when I don’t do the less important stuff. He knows it would be uncomfortable for me and draining and he does not ask that of me.

We also try to vary events. I only want to go out with one or two couples. He wants to invited 20 people. We try to balance those events.

We have young kids so the demands about time are different in terms of me time because it is actually less about introvert me time and more about Just time time to sleep or relax.[/quote]
