Some people dislike socialising.
And there is nothing inherently wrong with that. They are simply introverts, which is completely OK. Just because someone isn’t chatting to everyone or being loud doesn’t indicate they’re shy. They may not like that individual, or they may not be in the mood to be the life of the party. You must also respect their wishes. I realise that you want your spouse to blend in with your pals at times, but you can’t make someone do it.
However, it is exactly what this individual attempted to accomplish. He wanted his wife to interact with his bandmates even if she was quite content talking to someone else. There is nothing impolite about refusing to converse with others. Not everyone has that kind of energy. But this man felt betrayed by his wife’s behaviour and informed her so. Not only that, but it was her birthday, which put her in a bad attitude. I mean, she went to support him on her birthday, and all he could do was criticise her behaviour?
People had a lot to say when he asked their opinions on Reddit. You can see for yourself by scrolling below.

We start this story off with some weird vibes with him mentioning how his wife latched onto a person.
He asked her to socialize with his friends but she refused as she had already greeted them.
This is when he delved a little bit deeper into the relationships he has with his friends.
But her refusal wasn’t satisfactory and he told her as much.
She obviously did not appreciate his tone and criticism.
And that is how he ended up with her crying on her birthday.
But he was smart enough to understand that he was wrong and promised to treat her better.
I understand that he wanted her to socialise more, but he needs to understand that he cannot compel her to do so. She found someone she could talk to and did so. There is nothing impolite about declining to join a group. As he explains, these are her acquaintances, so why should she grin and act as if they are her best friends? Not to mention the fact that it was his birthday and he was only concerned with his feelings, not hers. I hope he takes this to heart and treats her better in the future.
People in the comments were obviously not on his side.
And many called him out on his behaviour.
Some people even shared their own insecurities.
This commenter puts everything in perspective perfectly.
It is important to take your partner’s feelings into account and I hope he learns from this.
We all need a palate cleanser after that so time for puppy tax!
He is an adorable puppy but he also looks quite regal and majestic in this picture. I mean have you seen that posture? It is clear that he knows he is cute and isn’t afraid to flaunt it.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Do you think he overreacted, or do you see him as a controlling partner? What would you do if your lover behaved in this manner?
