to wish dp had some mates who would come and knock for him

[southeastastra]

to go out

i think he needs more male company than he gets

I got my DH to go to pub quiz with friends husbands and he loves it and I love having a night when I can watch what I want or do what I want. He also now starts arranging other social thingswhen he is at the pub that we do together which is great.

Twinkleandpearls - sorry for diverting the thread but did you used to have a similar name and leave MN for a while or am I completely befuddled?

Yes I did

don't blokes just go down the pub and make friends

Twinkleandpearls - I thought so. Nice to see you back.

Thankyou abeta

He doesn't really, he has hobbies but he tends to do them with us.

But he is happy and it is not my place to tell him to do otherwise.

Mine is the same as ABeta. Works from home and only seems to meet his old mates if it's a group thing with the OHs or whole family. Don't men like some close company with those of the same sex like women do?

My dh does nothing but work or spend time with us. Strange man.

Cat I didn't take it as a criticism, he is no a couch potato by any means. We are a very active family he will just do things with me or dd.

nothingofthesort that sounds exactly like DP. The only thing he does do very rarely alone is fishing, but even then most of the time he has either all of us fishing or him and ds1.
