[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have been married for 7 years and have 2 small children. Moved out to a suburb 2 years ago and quickly fell in with a group of other young families in our neighborhood. I get invited to all of the book clubs and ladies nights etc, but have recently learned that whenever they get together as couples recently we are not included :(

I can't help but think this is because of him. He has always been kind of an introvert but was able to fake it when we were younger and dating, but now he's just gotten so much more low energy and not fun to be around. I chalked it up to his stressful job and the stress of life w/ 2 under 3. I'm so bummed - the weekends are such a drag, it is like pulling teeth to get him out of the house to do anything with the kids, let alone other families.

Not really a question, just venting after seeing pics of a St. Patty's party we were not invited to. Oh well.

He should be able to plan and do some family friends outings every weekend? Otherwise you will have to yourself with the kids or get a ladies night out

Once the kids ECs or sports start, age 6+, you’ll meet even more parents at games or school and go out for pizza or BBqs.

He should not be turning down everything. Can’t he pick and choose?

Can he get bloodwork or neuro tests done with a good GP?

He has toddlers!  He has 18 years of parenting to do!! He can’t just check out now and be a hermit.

The kids need to develop socially and see adult relationships - friends, family, marital- as well. Just shipping the kids to school, and then ignoring them and all people after work and in the weekends is not healthy.

Can’t he at least tag along?

And another thing, you Op are going to have a long slog of raising kids if your spouse is too unhealthy or dysfunctional to conversate or interact with others outside of work. [/quote]
