[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any women here with quiet, homebody DHs? I am dating a very nice who fits the majority of my "husband" requirements (he's considerate, caring, very smart and educated, same family values, blah blah blah) and I am incredibly fond of him and am starting to fall for him.

However social life is where we struggle a little bit. I'm definitely an introvert, but I'm a sociable, outgoing introvert. I can talk for hours on end - i just need two days of quiet at home to peacefully recuperate haha. But the point is I do enjoy catching up with my friends, I like going to networking events in my industry, I like making connections and meeting people. I need down time at home afterwards, of course, and my natural state is lying in bed with a book (suits my introverted nature) but I can't be at home all the time.

My boyfriend doesn't really open up to people fast. He's very reserved, though friendly, and sometimes I think he gives people the impression that he isn't very interested in them. I know this is shyness, and I don't like the idea that I'm possibly more confident around people than he is.

Any women who brought their DHs out of their shells? And how much of a turn-off is it for you?[/quote]

Every couple is different. I might be something like you. I have both introvert and extrovert qualities. Anyway, I can't tell you the gory details but it has been hell on our relationship. I did not continue my typical socialization patterns and  instead really focused on his world. Fast forward a few years and i  nearly had an affair BC I was so lonely. Considered divorce BC it is such a deal breaker now that I understand.  Am too flirtatious. Probably seem a bit desperate. Realized all of this recently and am trying to build a better and more stable life for our family.  Luckily it is working but be very careful to not gloss over important differences.[/quote]
