[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, your post resonated with me. I am also married to an introvert who rarely wants to leave the house. I also think that our social life suffers because of him. We have very few couple friends but I have a lot of friends myself. My DH is fine in small groups but says nothing at parties and is just not a guy’s guy, so the husbands have a hard time getting to know him and probably write him off as shy, dorky or even an ahole. So, we don’t get invited out much at all. Frankly, it sucks.

My sister’s husband is the opposite of DH and they have tons of friends, this translates into them getting invited out a lot and to their friends’ various vacation homes and on great, fun trips. Basically, they are living life to the fullest while we stay at home night after night and watch Office reruns.
If he weren’t a good husband and father, I’d be long gone. Life is too short to sit around the house all day.[/quote]

17:37 poster here. This is my situation, too. I hear stories from other people who travels with other families, who have friends over for dinner, take fun road trips, and I’m lucky if I can convince my husband to drive to a new restaurant in town. He works from home all day and is just fine never seeing anyone. We moved to our new area several years ago, it was a place he wanted to move to, and now post Covid he never leaves the house unless I push for something. I don’t think he could care less if we have friends and people to enjoy the weekends with.

And yes, same issue there— he’s not a guy’s guy so he never really connects well with other men who he could get to know better or go fishing with, or even just enjoy talking to over a bbq. Unfortunately, it most likely results in others thinking he’s aloof or a jerk. [/quote]
