[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds depressed.  Encourage him to get screened and/or start therapy.

I am an introvert too, but I do need to socialize, just with smaller groups of people.  Introvert does not equal isolation.[/quote]

I ebb and flow; love my downtime, Me Time, the office chatter, family friend stuff, extended family stuff.

And no houseguests for more than 3 days unless you’re really pitching in or doing your own thing. [/quote]

Introversion is a spectrum, you could be more in the middle. I'm sure he's burnt out from work and raising young kids. 
I also think introversion is more extreme when the activity is unappealing. Willing to bet husband just doesn't vibe with these people.[/quote]

But OP said it's been a decline and it's not just the neighborhood get togethers -- "he's just gotten so much more low energy and not fun to be around." and "the weekends are such a drag, it is like pulling teeth to get him out of the house to do anything with the kids, let alone other families."

This is not normal necessarily.  I'm an introvert with twins and even when my kids were tiny and exhausting, I needed some form of human adult interaction that was not my spouse on a regular basis and to leave my house or I would lose it.[/quote]

+1 the OP provided several examples of her spouse not engaging in life.

I’m more worried how he’ll be in 1-2 years if he’s this checked out and shutdown after only three years of kids.

I hope he makes $500k++ a year, OP is going to need it.[/quote]
