[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you are in for a challenge the rest of your life. I am the way ou describe yourself.  When we go out, I feel like I spend more time worrying about him, how awkward he comes across and how little he talks. I know folks who don't know hm well thinks he is either rude or is on the spectrum somewhere. Its definitely limited out ability to make couple friends or other friends with kids.   Sometimes I really resent it. I get frustrated that he doesn't know how to join into a converstaion easily or that I have to "babysit" him. Now that we have a kid though, I leave him at home with kid and use that as th excuse to go out and not deal with this. DH is a loving and attentive father and husband so not going to derail our life over this but think long and hard OP of what this means in the long run. [/quote]

+1 I could have written this post. It can be tough. I sound like you OP, I can be very sociable but need me time too. DH would happily watch tv at home every night. I hate how it has affected our ability to make friends.[/quote]

+2. I almost married a guy who was shy and awkward. Thankfully it didn't work out and I ended up married to a very sociable guy who keeps friendships from 20+ years back. And his friends are very interesting folks as well.

Just think about your bf getting older and even more tired, cranky, unsociable... you have to do all the legwork to maintain the social part of your AND his life. Imagine being stuck in a new city, if you ever relocated together, and he never made friends there. Marriage is boring enough, don't get stuck with a guy who is a bore![/quote]
