[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the situation. DD and her boyfriend have been together for 1.5 years and are very much in love.  They are both almost 19 and heading to the same college in the fall.  They are quite serious and even plan on getting married “one day.”

The problem?   Both DD and boyfriend are very introverted and shy people who have difficulty making friends.  Her father and I are both the same way, and as much as I love him.  I have to admit, if I could do it over, I would marry someone who is more outgoing.  I truly believe that shy people benefit from being with someone who helps bring them out of their shell.  My husband and I have barely made any friends during our married lives, and I see the same thing happening with my daughter and boyfriend. I don’t want to see her make the same mistake I did.

So what do I do?  [b]Do I gently tell her that they would both benefit from being with more outgoing people?[/b]  How would she take that?  Would she be offended and not listen?  Plus I really don’t feel comfortable essentially admitting that I regret marrying her father.  [/quote]

But you don’t know if they would match better with a more outgoing SO or not. You’re just guessing. Your situation is not your DD’s.[/quote]
