I've been with my boyfriend just over six months and it's becoming increasingly apparent that he has no kind of social life outside of seeing me, and that he doesn't seem at all interested in making friends and developing one.
He is very introverted- it has taken me a long time to get to know him properly and the fact that he doesn't hang around with his own friends has become this elephant in the room for us. I think he knows that I don't bring the subject up because I don't want to hurt his feelings.
When we are around my friends he seems very uncomfortable- I think he tries to match my extroverted personality and forces himself to behave like someone that he isn't.
I know he used to have at least a few friends before we met and I'm starting to wonder why he doesn't make any effort to see them anymore. I can't help but get a bit frustrated with him when he tells me about yet another Friday evening he's spent at home drinking beer alone and playing computer games.
I know that having a wild social life isn't the most important thing to look for in a partner and apart from this he is great and treats me incredibly well. He's a pretty independent person so I don't think this is sign of him becoming overly attached to me or whatever. He seems fairly content with his life though so I don't know whether I'm making an issue out of nothing.
Just find it kind of weird that he basically has no friends though? Is there any need to bring up the topic with him?
Put the internet to work for you.
