[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]

I am struck by the number of qualities he has that fits your 'husband requirement' and the fact you bring up this one area.

As for experience, my mother could easily be described as you describe yourself and my father like he is. Because of my father's work he did become a bit more outgoing but still wouldn't ever be regarded as an extrovert. She remained about the same but moved a little more to the introvert side. They were married for over 50 years.[/quote]
