[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I feel I'm constantly making excuses for him, defending him, and then bickering with him about why he's being this way. Im trying to be understanding and we already do a lot less than most couples in these groups - I don't feel like I'm pushing for a crazy amount of social interaction here. Any advice would be appreciated.[/quote]
My DH needs a lot more down time than he used to.  Life is different in many ways than it used to be.  Kids and work take a lot of energy and I don't begrudge him that he wants to focus the energy he has on what is important to him.  I often go alone/with the kids.  I don't make excuses or defend or bicker with him though.  "He couldn't make it" and that's it.  People still like him and us.  So my advice would be to ask him what is comfortable for him (I do think 1/week to socialize is a lot if you have a full time job, kids, and don't actually want to be there).  Stick to that schedule and leave him be.  Why does HE need to be in the driveway, is what I'm asking.[/quote]
