I suspect this way of thinking isn't that uncommon.

My point is that my bf's need for me not to be social was unique since most people's partners WANT them to be social.

Isn't that funny. I wouldn't. I'm not in a relationship and haven't been for many, many years. But if I were I think I'd kind of like more of a quiet, unassuming, homebody. Maybe someone a little shyer. Maybe that's why I'm not in a relationship! My special someone is sitting at home somewhere.
There's a character in Anne of Green Gables I've always thought would be a perfect husband. Matthew Cuthbert. Some descriptions from the internet:
- Matthew Cuthbert - Marilla's brother, a shy, awkward man who takes a liking to Anne from the start. The two become fast friends. He is far less talkative than Anne, but is a very good listener.
- Matthew is Marilla’s bachelor brother and Anne’s adoptive father. Shy and gentle, Matthew likes to avoid confrontation. But he’s pretty good at giving advice in a kind way that’s easy to take.
- There is something very moving about Richard Farnsworth’s portrayal of Matthew – the shy brother of Marilla's. He did not want for very much and was content living a simple life. Both Anne and Marilla knew that although Matthew didn’t speak very often, when he chose to voice his opinion it was important that they listen. Whatever he had to say was enlightening.
That's
my dream man! Not for me the social butterfly.
And with that I've taken this thread
completely off topic!
