[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t see the issue. I (the DW) am the introvert and DH is the extrovert. Why do you care, exactly, if DH doesn’t make the social rounds and prefers to read a book? I’d have done something similar in this situation (if I attended at all). My DH would socialize happily, and give me the rundown later over a glass of wine on the patio.

I am not “no fun” but don’t enjoy mingling with random people/acquaintances I have little in common with , and only do it when I have to, and for a short and perfunctory amount of time. I find small talk unbelievably boring and honestly don’t see the point.  I do enjoy spending time with close friends, and socializing while doing a common activity  (volunteer work, exercise class etc) or sometimes stuff for the kids (sports event or something)….but I don’t enjoy talking to ransoms just to talk and fill space.

I suspect it bothers you because you think it is hurting YOU socially? Honestly- this doesn’t seem to be an issue for my DH- and the “introverted wife” is probably less common and more of a social liability 🤣 He gets plenty of invites. Sometimes goes alone, sometimes with the kids, sometimes I join for a bit but often not. I don’t doubt that some wonder or find it strange that I am not present (where is his wife? hmm strange) but they don’t say so openly. It really hasn’t been an issue. Not sure what else to say. I wonder if your own social skills are lacking and you resent that DH can’t “help” by providing some cover?

I could have written this post (wife here); except I have had a couple say they have wondered about me :).

So I am here to say one person, especially a woman, can carry the family socially. I suspect you are placing unfair blame on your DH for your lack of invites when you may be part of the issue.

Also haven’t there been a bunch of articles in the last couple years how men have no friends?

You don’t seem to like your DH generally though and that must be a terrible way for both of you to live.
