Has being in a relationship made you anti-social?

It's pretty normal, I think, for a husband and wife to get very close and want to spend time together instead of apart.

It's also healthy to have other relationships, so even though while you're out with other friends, you miss your husband and would rather be with him, DO IT. It is good to be apart sometimes, so you have a chance to miss each other and then something to talk about!

What you describe is a very good relationship. It is a relationship that you need to relax and enjoy because such relationships are difficult to come by.While there is nothing wrong with seeking to broaden your horizons, make sure it is not based on the made-up understanding of the romance.If anything, what I sense is boredom. It appears that you guys have not done something together recently as a couple, that you might have been falling into some type of rut.A little talk and a night out together will remove some of the cobweb and relight the love fir .I wish you both all the best.

I recently discovered I was being extremely needy of my husband, as well as anti-social -- I was diagnosed as depressed. I knew something wasn't right but I didn't know what to do. I started therapy and some anti-depressants have done wonders. No one knows why people get depressed but once you start to come out of it life looks a lot better. Relationships feel better and, at least in my case, I started to rebuild some friendships that I neglected. Good luck yo you!

Going out with friends is a very healthy thing. You will show you guy that you have a life of your own plus it will make you feel better as well. Do not depend on your husband to entertain you he will eventually get really tired of it. Go out!!! The more you stay away from friends the less you will have down the road.

I think you should definitely make some girlfriends, even if they're just acquaintances. Don't you have any coworkers who you can hang out with outside of work? Or what about the girlfriends of your boyfriends friends? I have a "wives/gf club" with the women of my husband's friends and we hang out all the time, sometimes even without our men around. Hehe. And what about siblings? Do you have any sisters that you can go out with? Or what about your boyfriend's sister(s)?

Anyways, I don't know the full extent of your situation... but those are some good places to start to find girlfriends that will help to occupy some of your time so you're not always hanging out with your man. :)

Yes. Actually my bf is the more anti-social one.. and he was like that even before he met me. He would rather stay home and watch sports than go to a party or to meet up with friends. He rarely talks to his friends- before or aftter he met me. So now i've been pulled down.. lol. My relationship with my best friend was strained but now we are doing much better. And yes, it is harder to maintain friendships with people who aren't my best friends.. and it's also harder to make time to see my cousins who are around my age.

I have been making small changes though.. I try to get out with him.. I tell him that it's improtant to me to go out and not just be in one of our houses or at some family gathering all the time. He is listening. :)

You never have to have deep friendships unless you choose to. I agree that it is better to look for other things to occupy the void. Have you tried karate or dance classes. Perhaps a book club or volunteer work that involves different things so you aren't tied down to one thing all the time. Join a group that plays cards or join some ladies at your church. Get the focus on yourself...you become very attractive when you do this. Join a bowling league...learn a new craft.

Just to name a few

Same exact thing with me, and, from talking to other people in successful relationships, it's entirely normal. As my parents-in-law put it just last weekend - your spouse becomes your best friend; they've been married for over 40 years, and still spend most of their free time together. This is how I envision my marriage to be, too. There's nothing wrong in taking delight in your partner's company.

I had this happen with my fiance and it was for the same reasons as you. I just didn't want to spend my free time with anyone but her.

You should go out with friends because it will keep that desire of wanting to spend time with your for longer (or forever). It will make each time you see him more exciting vs. spending all your time with him where you might end up taking him for granted. That may not happen now, but it will eventually

Shoot, after I graduated from high school 5 years ago....I haven't had friends to just hang with. We kinda just all parted. Right now I'm just busy with college and work. And the only friend I hang out with is my fiance. We are trying to get together with couple friends but everyone we know, they fight all the time. So we just enjoy hanging out with eachother.
