[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH had very few friends when we met. Yes, it's a red flag. It's clearly already bothering you and I will tell you from experience, once you have kids, the social connections for your entire family will fall on you. Now, this is pretty common that women run the family social life, however, a DH w/o friends is likely someone who has some social deficiencies and that can be a huge stressor. At least it is for me.

It's actually not necessarily a red flag at all. Many people who are introverted have few friends. I myself have only one good friend and I see her rarely. I enjoy being by myself. I'm happy and mentally healthy.[/quote]

It is a red flag. I married a man with a stable but small circle of friends. But in all the casual social situations of life, which are frequent for parents, it is really stressful. He is unwelcoming, never chats, never makes an offer to do anything with anyone. At sports events never gets with the other dads on the sidelines. If one of his close friends is there, he will talk only to his friend. It is painful and perplexing because it is so, so hard to socialize as a couple when one half is completely unsociable.[/quote]
