That's it really. He's maintained 2 school friends for the last 20+ years. But they both live about an hours drive away (in different places) and we see them about once a year. We might see them more if it was me organising things, but they're still sort of 'dp's friends' even though we're all married etc and with children now.
It's a very difficult situation for me and has always been something I have wondered/worried about.
I have a few friends and feel that I make social contacts reasonably well, but dp never has, he really doesn't know anyone socially on his own terms i.e. not through me.
It's getting me down a lot.
Mainly I think it affects our relationship in a negative way, he has no-one to go out with and talk to about stuff, let off steam etc. Therefore, I get everything. I can sort of understand if he is a solitary person, I can't force him to make friends, but the problem is, I have a problem with it! Why can't he go out to the pub like other blokes?? He says he doesn't have time for things outside of work. He doesn't play any team sports, never has (only individual ones surprisingly!!).
I haven't raised my fears with dp, I'm too scared. Should I?
