[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Introvert speaking. Reach a compromise. Socialize [b]one weekend of the month and put a time limit on it, 3-4 hours[/b] of hanging out then everyone goes home.

Or chill at home all day then meet friends for dinner.

I sense you are mocking the trips to Target. To an introvert, doing things other than reading or watching TV can be draining.  [/quote]

I'm the introvert and even I know 3-4 hours once a month is nowhere near enough. Flip the concept - would being home alone once a month for 3-4 hours be enough for the introvert? Of course not.

OP, one thing I found was that if I spent enough time with certain people, it came to not feel like effort to be "on" around them and I was as comfortable with them as I was with just my family. What DH and I do is one day home, quiet, and one day out, socializing. Sometimes we have to break it into half days where we socialize Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning and are home Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon depending on parties, plans, etc. But DH and I love each other and as long as we see the other trying to protect the time we need to feed our souls (sorry for sounding corny there), it helps even if we run into a weekend where we're going from this event to that one nonstop, or wind up sitting at home all weekend.[/quote]
