my cw, and need advice
i am getting more anti social as time goes on. OR i just dont like my husbands friends. i dont know what it is. but everytime its time to go to a dinner or hang out with his friends, i get all blah and irratated. last year, DH work had him in monterey and he invited me to go down on the last day, meet up and have dinner and stay the night in the provided hotel room. Well then it ended up being have dinner with his coworker friend, and his girlfriend. These people are sooo unlike me. Into and look like Jeresy Shore. not kidding. really into sports, looking like you walked out a magazine , spending hours at the gym. Im just not that kinda person. Top it off we went for Sushi. And i dont like Sushi. Blah.
Anyway its time for this show to happen again, and he asked if i wanted to go. I said yes, and asked if we could catch a movie. He said sure. then a few days later we were talking about it, and i asked if it was the same as last year , and he said yes. I come down, meet up, and we ALL go to dinner. So its the same as last year. Cant wait for drinks. and heres one for you.
Then add the fact that dh's bff is getting married in July and is having a 4 day camping wedding sit under the stars and play drums kinda of gig. Im just being cranky . i dont really like camping, and cant imagine doing 4 days both kids, and a wedding in that.

Re: my cw, and need advice
I totally hear you on this F! Mine social dread... long weekends with the ILs - ha!! I'll tell you how I try to cope... I try to find something, even just one little thing, that will make the weekend special and enjoyable for me. (Mine, is usually booze - which the ILs don't indulge in - oh well, I bring it anyway!!). So for the work weekend, maybe you can be the one to suggest the restaurant - somewhere YOU like. Or instead of dinner, maybe you guys can do an activity - like pool - there's more action, less talking than a dinner! And for the camping... maybe there are short trip to cool places near by that you can take (just your family) while you're there.
Just my thoughts!
I always feel weird in those kind of situations. I would ask to at least go to a restaurant you will like rather than sushi. I dunno...I guess I would even ask for DH to do something solo...make it all romantic and such...promise some sexy time, buy something sexy to wear under your clothes...give him a hint of it before you leave. Maybe that will get him to not want to go out with friends?
As for 4 days of 2 kids and a camping wedding with drums....that sound interesting. I don't personally know what I think about drumming since I am guessing that is at night around a campfire....when kids might need to be sleeping? I would have a hard time with that since they would be grumpy and not well slept then. I think the camping part sounds fun. Though if you didn't have many friends within the group that would be tough. I would feel weird in that situation and uncomfortable.
I am sorry you are having to face this stuff, I hate feeling uncomfortable in groups, it sucks. I always slap on a happy face and pretend I am having so much fun but really counting the seconds until I get to leave.
