[quote=Anonymous]My husband is very extroverted, I am much more introverted and reserved. He has a number of friends from college, work, etc. and regularly spends time with them. Over the last couple of years, more and more of them have begun dating seriously and entering into relationships, and will ask us to spend time with them as a couple.

I've realized I can't stand these get togethers. 99% of the time, my husband and his friend will spend hours talking about work/their common interests while I have to make awkward small talk with the friend's significant other. I find this so draining and quite frankly, would rather be home on my couch, and I imagine the other partner feels the same way. I finally have started declining these invitations, encouraging my husband to still go solo, and often, either he does not want to go or the other couple says 'let's reschedule when Larla is free!"

I am glad my husband has so many good friends and have zero issue with him getting together with them (we don't have kids yet, so the time isn't an issue) - I just don't want to go.

Am I being unreasonable here? [/quote]
