Anyone Else Hubby Quiet?

I'm the same way I like to be social but I'm not a great host and my townhouse just isn't a great place to invite people over.

When my fiance and I did go over other's party's houses etc, he is very unsocial and will sit on his phone all night cruising the internet etc. Very embarrassing. I started leaving him at home or going out when he's working etc and I end up having a much better time. He was more of a hassle to bring anyhow.

I too have a Sept.08 baby, oh how they grow so fast!

my hubby and i are social oppisites!!! i love having people over and being with friends. he doesn't!! so i leave him home and do the social things i need to do. and alot of these advents i go to are for our son and his friends. my hubby is the one missing out on the fun i'm not!! so i say go with outhim and enjoy life!!

This is wild. I'm going through the same thing. Hubby and I just had a "discussion" about it. My husband hates company and doesn't like going out especially during the day. He works third shift. I'm social but I've become increasingly home prone since the birth of our son. His dislike of social activities has rubbed off on me and I don't like it. I used to be so social and vibrant when I worked before the marriage. Now that the baby is here, hubby doesn't want me to work or send our son to daycare. Big issue with him.

If I invite people over hubby gets real upset because I'm not the best house cleaner. The house isn't a total mess, but it has a definite lived in look.

Let me know when you figure something out. I'm still looking for an answer. I think I'm just going to start living my life and let him sit at home by himself. He loves to sleep anyhow.

Yes, my hubby is the same way also. I just go without him. If its a kid thing I take the kids with or I leave them at home with him. No point in going nuts staying home when you can have some social time

i am a little bit anti-social myself, and it all boils down to my own insecurities.
I do like to go out with good friends once in a while, but it is mentally exhausting for me to deal with what is going on in my head the whole time.
I have no problem with my hubby going out on his own, sometimes I sort of enjoy it when he does. I get to do what I want at home, and not worry about what he wants to do :)
I think you should try planning something with friends, and invite him... but tell him he doesn't have to come if he doesn't want to.
If that goes smoothly, then continue it once in a while. Hpoefully He will either be ok with you going, or he might want to come to once in a while.

My husband is not anti-social, but he is more than happy to stay home and does not particularly enjoy social events. I've found the way to get him involved in anything social is to do things with a couple in which the husband has a lot in common with my hubby. We just got together with a couple last night. The husband is a computer nerd like my hubby and they get along great. It's pretty funny to see how animated they get when they speak "nerd talk". =) The wife and I even left the guys alone with the kids to pick up pizza and a movie and my hubby was perfectly comfortable with that. The played on the Wii like a couple of kids themselves.

I also go out and socialize by myself. My friends and I have a food group and book club that each meet monthly, plus there are other activities that we get together for frequently. It's nice to get out without kids (and husband) sometimes to just be with other moms.
