[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the introvert and less fun one and would be so sad if my husband thought of me as a burden in this way. He should be in my corner.[/quote] NP here. But who wants to be in a corner all alone for the next 30+ years. It affects the kids, too, when you start to see they’re left out of things. Ask me how I know. Most don’t get married with the expectation of living on an island. [/quote] I don’t know, because DH has his own activities and we don’t get left out of things. People don’t leave us out because I am shy or want to stay home. OP could be part of the problem.[/quote] Do you have small kids, though, who still rely on you for opening doors to the world and having other families over? My kids hardly have this experience and my husband doesn’t really care. [/quote] Honestly, you can provide this for your children without much help from your husband. I say this as the female- I am kind and don’t embarrass myself in public but everyone expects me to be the social planner because I am the wife and I am simply not inclined to be that person. So my husband happily took that on because that is who he is. And he doesn’t make me feel bad or like a burden, even though no one expects the man to be the one planning these things and coordinating with other people. But he found a way. People are not leaving us out because of me, even though I can be plenty awkward and quiet. I see a lot of women on this thread blaming their husbands for this but I’m not sure it’s fair. [/quote]
