[quote=Anonymous]Accept the things you cannot change, OP, and try to change the things you can.  You should go on your own and leave him at home.  Hopefully your couples friends are comfortable with that and you can learn to be comfortable with it.  Your husband's introversion shouldn't ruin your social live but you will have to accept that it's your social life and not his.

And remind yourself regularly that your husband is not an extension of you.  If he behaves badly, it's not you behaving badly and any of your friends who would blame you for his behavior are not worth having for friends.

Okay, that's my advice for you.  But you do raise an interesting question as to whether these changes signal a mental health problem for him.  That's a lot more complicated to deal with because you won't have success trying to nag him out of it.  I'm not sure what you should do if anything at this point in time.  Keep an eye on it and monitor it but [i]don't try to fix him.[/i]  It's not going to work and he's just going to push back.

Good luck![/quote]
