Going from a social person to a complete introvert

Married 13 years 16 together my husband has gone from being the party fun super social to a complete introvert when it comes to any kind of socialing to the point where he gives me crap and tries to fall out with me whenever we have to go anywhere with people.

it makes me feel so stressed before I go out that I don’t want to go as I’m on edge.

I’ve got to the point where I hate getting invited out as a couple and would rather go out with the girls but then he moans at me and asks what time I will be home I feel like I have to clock watch.

i am never out super late and always keep him updated where I am but I just feel on edge constantly I can’t relax.

I always makes excuses why he isn’t there people actually don’t expect him to come so much now.

in the house he prefers to be watching his own thing so I’m sat on my own a lot at night we don’t have kids so it’s just us.

He does things that suits him.

when we get invited to do something he makes such a fuss the majority of the time giving me shit or he has to agree a time to go home we are always the first to leave anywhere it makes me feel awkward as I could have a full drink and enjoying myself.

we used to have such a lovely life and do things together at the weekends now I just feel lonely and fed up

i go to things alone a lot as don’t want to just work all week and then sit at my home on my own.

i don’t want to leave him but honestly feel like I live a single life but with the agg of his moods and miserableness.

its been getting worse over the last 18 months

Has he become a social introvert or does he just not want to be with you? What does he do when you go out that means he feels the need to know when you will return? Is he stressed/depressed/exhausted/burnt out?

It doesn’t sound like you are getting any enjoyment from the relationship and there is a lot more to life than this.

to be honest I do think it’s the social side we live away from our hometown whenever we go back it’s like he cba there either my best friend and one of his commented on it last time we back as he was pulling his face to leave and go back to where we was staying

He literally stays in the house when I’m out

But what is he doing in the house when you are out that he needs to know exactly when you will be back? I wonder what his internet search history would show.

Honestly, I’d divorce him.

Why not dump him and spend the rest of your life enjoying yourself socialising?

I don’t see why you’re clockwatching when you’re out alone, though. Especially if he doesn’t seem to want to engage with you much when you’re present, either.
