[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are young, single, and childless.  I think this topic touches a nerve for many DCUM posters (like me) who made similar trade-offs, settled for an undesirable situation, chose the wrong spouse, etc.  My advice to you (and my younger self) is to really decide what YOU want to do with your life and if your DH is the right person to proceed and procreate with.  This really has nothing to do with him...it's all on you and you have the power to make your own decisions, especially now before you have kids.

My thought about you is that you didn't have an exciting college life and always wanted to be "in the mix".  This is why you were attracted to your DH's college stories.  He was your ticket to a fun life.  He grew up, decided he's been there, done that, and wants to chill out in the suburbs.  Now, you feel deceived because he had his fun and you never got to.  I could be wrong but only you know the truth.[/quote]

Op here.

I think you're a 100% correct. I had NO fun in college. For the first two years I was a socially awkward nerd who spent all her time in the library and for the last two years my dad got sick so I spent a lot of weekends going home to see my family.

I figured once I graduated, found a job and became independent, I'd make friends and have a fun social life. And yes, I was attracted to DH because I thought he had a fun social life that I too could inherit. I did not count on him to "retire" from socializing so early.

I am sorry OP, that doesn't sound fun. 
look at meetup.com. I promise there are groups for people your age who are meeting up every single weekend and doing stuff - even right there in Fairfax.

Also, really consider whether long term, you and your DH are a match. Once you have kids, you may be the one wanting to go out and socialize with other families and he will hate that.  It will be a lifelong issue.  [/quote]
