So, my wonderful husband, Kevin, asked me if he could host a Magic the Gathering party at our house this Friday. I had no problem with that at all. What got to me was that then he said that he was thinking of telling his work/magic buddies to invite their wives for me to socialize with. Having recently moved, I don't really have friends in this area. Sure, I kinda know some of my neighbors and the women in my ward, but I'm not really friends with any of them. I'm sure he thought he was being helpful since I recently had a breakdown because of my lack of friends, but still. I really don't want to social with his friends' wives. I'm sure they are nice and all, but really, I've maybe only met them a couple times at work parties, but not really met them, ya know? It's just so incredibly frustrating to me.
I had envisioned Friday as a day for me to get the house decorated for Christmas. I didn't care if he had friends over. That's no big deal. I've been sick and so when he suggested that the wives come as well, I told him I didn't know if I'd be feeling well enough then. Kevin then said, "Fine, be a hermit." In which I had to respond that it was okay to invite them. I know he meant well, but he really doesn't get it. I have a hard time making friends. He's very charismatic. He has absolutely no problem with talking to people or making friends. I've tried to explain to him before how it is to be on the shy side, but someone who's never been there can't really understand.
So, I'll be entertaining women this Friday. It's so totally not what I want to do nor was planning on doing, but now I'm stuck doing it.
