[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's with all this gently stuff.

Gently worn clothes.
Gently talk about ...
Gently played with toys.
Gently handle situations.

Just ask him. He's not going to break.

I have never spoken to any of my neighbors but my husband has. I don't feel the need to socialize with any of them. Why are you trying to force your husband into things he clearly is not interested in ? My husband never forces me to be social. I think I'd divorce him if he did.[/quote]

Because he likes having people over, he likes having friends, and he has complained that he doesn't have many friends. He is interested in being social because he expresses interest in attending social events and hosting social events. It's just that he doesn't socialize once there! And, I think it's unhealthy for our relationship for me to be the only one with friends.[/quote]

Are you not noticing other families at all?  With couples, especially couples with kids, its the mom's friendships that drive the couple friendship.  The dad's are just along for the ride and talk about a game, or a nice place for golf, maybe current events if they are daring.  Your DH seems to have clued into that even if you haven't (this is a socialable DH here BTW)&gt;[/quote]
