[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an introvert, but 2 on 2 dates are small enough for me to feel comfortable. It sounds like your declining these dates is putting a crimp in your husband's social life. Can you say yes half the time? [/quote]

I am fine with my husband going solo. If two people are going to talk about things for hours that aren’t relevant to the general group, it really makes more sense for them to just get together 1:1, I feel like. [/quote]

I think you should have a frank talk with your DH about this dynamic. What he and his friends are doing is not socially gracious. They're talking with each other and excluding their partners. In my world, a double date is when all 4 ppl interact. My DH's friend would ask about going ons in my life and vice versa. I may not always hit it off with DH's friends' partners, but at least there would be some connection with the friend. DH is the same way. He cares about his friends, so he wants to know their partners too.

If your DH wants to catch up with friend only and ignores the partner, then he should suggest guys only get togethers. If he makes an effort to include the partners in conversations you can meet him halfway by attending some times.

This is my issue. The dynamic is such that I’m forced to have a 1:1, lengthy conversation, with someone I don’t know and have nothing in common with. [/quote]
