Is it normal that my boyfriend will never come to any social event with me?
He'll never come to my friends' birthday parties, or small gatherings.
I try not to make a big deal of it because I know it makes him anxious and I don't want to bother him, but at the same time I want him to come with me. So I find myself calculating how many times I can mention the event in the week, so as to remind him without pestering him...
It's horrible that we have to be in this situation, social events are supposed to be fun, I don'0t want to feel like I'm forcing him. Also he's not even gave these people a chance so as to know if he'd get bored..
He admits that it isn't too much to ask to come with me to some events every once in a while, and has even told me afterwards: "Yes, I should have gone with you"
He sometimes (and this is the most disturbing and immature) tell's me that he was just about to get changed to come, but then because I didn't answer his text at the right moment he got into his pijamas again. Or he'd be on his way and start texting me and then text: well' you are not answering so I'm going back home... like making lame excuses to not come but having "proof" that he was just about to do so...
What do you think?
