I've been with dh over 10 years. Pre kids we used to go for dinner etc with some other couples occasionally but it always seemed a bit forced. We both prefer just spending time with each other and over the years have got in a complete rut of never socialising together with other couples or families.
We have 3 young kids and I socialise a lot with them with my 'mummy mates' but I am always on my own. I meet up with friends with my kids on the days I don't work so fair enough dh is working plus wouldn't want to hang out with me and my girlfriends. But there are times when I've seen various girlfriends with their kids and their dh has been there too. Eg at the weekend. My dh would never come with me or stay in at home if friends with / without kids were visiting. He'd go out on his bike or do something himself. Tbh I wouldn't want him to come out if it was just me and another pal without their dh either, but I am thinking it is a bit odd that we never socialise with any other couples or families at all. Well, apart from his family who we see a lot.
I'm not sure if it's a problem or not, we just seem to float on by in our lives in this status quo but sometimes I just wish he would show more of an interest in socialising with others with me. It's like I have my friends and he has his friends and they rarely cross over. Is this weird or not?
