Does your DH get on with your friends DHs?

[hopeishere]

Just wondering how other people handle this. DH doesn't like my friends DH. Obviously I can't tell my friend this so it makes it v awkward when she suggests going out together. I try to see her on her own.

We don't see them that often and I think it's more the thought of friends DH that puts him off as we have had ok nights out.

Yeah, he does. They don’t really see each other independently and none of them have much in common but they all rub along really nicely and are always enthusiastic about doing couples outings. But it really helps that they’re all really nice, laid back people.

I find it harder to socialise with the partners of DH’s friends.

Interesting! I don't mind his friends but get on ok. I think DH is both overthinking and holding a grudge!!

I have seven true lifetime friends. DH gets on very well with one as he was a friend at school. He hasn't met one. The others are from a group of five friends I have, he really likes one, two he's ok with (but wouldn't go out for a night on his own with them) - the other two don't like mixing so never come along. DH will tolerate the two he's ok(ish) for me if it was a couples things.

I think I'd say to your friend your DH doesn't really like the thought of doing things with other couples.
