To wish he had friends

Anyone got a DH with no friends? It’s suffocating. He never goes out. Expects to come everywhere with me and kids. I have to plan our diary, come up with ideas etc. Anyone else got this? How do you cope?

My dh has no friends, but strangely enough he's a really sociable person. He'll happily have a conversation with the neighbours or people in the pub. He's also very self sufficient, walks the dogs for over an hour a day, big into DIY and loves holidays so I don't have to entertain him.

I do go out with friends often and have the odd long weekend away with my friends which he doesn't ever have any issues with.

Sorry not much help, but your dh needs to find his own hobbies, doesn't have to be with other people

There is always a way to leave, look at women who flee DV with the clothes on their back and start over.
It might be hard, it might be a struggle but it's far better than being treated like this.
Find your anger and make plans to leave.

There is always a way of course, but the cost to me and my children right now is too great (for various complicated reasons). LTB is a very simple idea but hard to carry out.
