[quote=Anonymous]I've been seeing someone for a while, and we really love each other.  Here's the issue.  I am more of a homebody, and  he is a socialite.  I've met all of his friends, who are great.  However, none of them have kids, and they are the type of group where it seems like everyone has a "function" ALL the time.  My sweetie, while he is great with me and my DS, just has to be at every function, every time, and he wants me with him, but understands, if I can't, ie -babysitter, etc.  The part that bugs me is this overwhelming sense of obligation to go to everything all the time, when at times, does not make sense, which includes group trips.  They are too clich-ish for me.  Am I being unreasonable?  We are both WAY past our 20's, and to me, that's what the behavior feels like.  At one function, the host referred to the gathering as the A-list.  I almost laughed in his face.  Maybe its because my priorities are different, but to me, its a little over the top, especially for the age group, 40+.  Are we too different to make this work?  I have discussed this with him, and I almost threw in the towel at one point, but he clearly making an effort by making more time for family time, but its gotten to the point that my tolerance level for ANY function with this group now is ZERO![/quote]
