s/o... Does homebody = good spouse?
Discuss.
I feel like everyone that has responded has said their SO is a homebody. Is this something that gradually changes as we all "settle down"?

Re: s/o... Does homebody = good spouse?
Being social wouldn't make you a bad spouse, so I couldn't say being a homebody would mean you are a bad spouse. It's more about how to handle being social or a homebody. I think there are plenty of ways a homebody could be a bad spouse.
I do think it changes as you settle down, but more so because we tend to become busier as we get older, get married, have kids, etc. So, when you have free time, you want to relax and for most people that involves being home and not going out and doing stuff.

I don't think it's either good or bad. Pat has just always preferred to stay home. He was never a party animal when he was younger and I think being an only child lends itself to enjoying alone time (home time).
He'd rather rent a movie, work on his garage, mess with the pinball machine or just watch tv than go out. We try to get out, but I generally prefer to stay home as well.

I don't think it necessarily makes someone a good spouse, but I think feeling comfortable enough in ones environment to feel ok to stay home is a good thing.
I can't stand when I want to be social and DH wants to stay home (weddings/ family things) but I always force him. If he's not feeling like being social, he's a total drag when I want to enjoy myself. I sometimes wish he was more into things. Though, I totally love my girl time so I am fine that he likes to stay home sometimes.
My BFF's husband is a very active, outdoor person and has not adjusted well to having kids-- he gets so antsy to get going and be productive with his day and some days, when you have kids, it's just not feasible. He can't just chill and enjoy being together at home.
I don't think it means it either way. It just depends on the personality. I was a very shy kid and so was DH. We are starting to join groups that interest us so we can be more social. But as in life, it is busy.
We have gotten a little more social/active over the years but like everything, it goes in waves.
FWIW-Lately, I have had antisocial moments where I just want to be home and do things (like craft to do list). In fact, I have cancelled all the events I was going to do this weekend. I rather be at home-relaxing (ok, and watching football on Sunday).
