Do you work? Are your colleagues friendly?

Why is it his responsibility to introduce you to his friends' wives so you have friends? Make your own friends. Join more groups. Get out there and make a life for yourself.

No. Friend's wife. Friends' wives.

Why is DCUM always quick to advice a couple to divorce? Wow! Just wow! What happened to marriage vows?

I think marrying him was a mistake. Divorce him, but in the meantime take one class at the school yourself so you can make some friends.

This is not always an option as some Muslims don't mix as couples. It has to be female party or male party.

I'm not sure. Maybe because he doesn't feel close enough to them to do this.

Something about this sounds off/shady to me.

Join more groups and spend less time with your husband

That sucks. Will he say what his reasoning is?

Join a congregation.

My husband refuses to introduce me to any of his friends wives. I feel I should be able to meet them so this way I have friends. I recently moved to Athens, Georgia from D.C. for him to start a PhD program. I also work from home so it makes it hard to meet people. Everyone here is mostly younger and connected with the university. My husband also comes from a background which doesn't mix female/ males. He moved here before me and was able to meet international students right away. Most of them are married too and live in family housing where we are living. I've been feeling depressed lately as I only have made one friend since moving here. I made this friend on my own because I joined a hiking group.
I understand that I might not even like his friends wife, but at least meeting his friends is a good start. I thought he would want to make things easier for me since I am new to the area.
