Am tired of being a guest on this forum and I have a reason for this. I wanted to feel how anti social I can be.
Away from this I really wanted to know how far you would wish your partner to be social in the community. I have a friend whose wife doesnt even know the neighbours in the apartment if it were not for the their kids who never stops at nothing i believe nobody could be knowing they exist. The wife will never go for the chamas, house parties to other homes or anywhere, so its left to the hubby to make arrangements over the weekend to go with kids to family friends and say that the Mama had some urgent business she could not manage to come. Am sure al of us have some levels of how u want to socialize but it is still worthy if you are able to meet friends and gossip in those gatherings. I maybe wrong but when am with Mama friekies in those gathering i feel that am more a man than the guys who left their mama's at home

Isn't it just boring, or wait till something happens and you need the company of friends n family.

@freiks, I feel your frustrations.

Try to panel beat her in a respectful way.
But be careful, I said here before that there is an hadith that compares women to a 'crooked rib'.
"Treat women well. The woman was created from a rib. The most bent part of the rib is the top part. If you try to straighten it, you will break it. If you leave it, it remains bent. So treat women well."

In Islam people look at four things in woman (or man), they plan to marry:
(i). Virtue (her religion or religiousness)
(ii). Noble (her family status)
(iii). Wealth (her wealth)
(iv). Beauty (her beauty)

Being outgoing is not one of the qualities of good mother or wife. I think she's a good mother and wife already. Shame on you

You want her to give you company in your social endevours. I think you've right, but if she is not that kind of person, I think you should understand her nature.
If she is pious woman, who is has obedience to creator, then love her the way she is. Whistle

I think you should hang out with responsible friends, who you will hang out with, and they will not lead you to womanizing.

Have fun, and when you come back home, bring her a gift once in a while. Call her wherever you are telling her you think about her and you love her.
Take her out with children once in a while to outings for nyama choma or ice-cream for children.

I think she is that kind of person who will appreciate.

NOTE:
- make sure you fulfill her physical needs at home
- Keep house boys and watchmen out of your boma
- keep away those distant relas.

If you were Muslim, I would recommend you talk to her and let her know you will marry another wife. Then look for an outgoing type, but take care of both of them equally.

And how would you like it if she never had time to do much at home because she's always in these chamas, birthday parties, gals time outs, at the sisters or mother's house or friends' house... And if she's not, then you have a house full of visitors every single weekend to "reciprocate" the visit?

May be she just loves her space.

@freiks

Yeah. Maybe she is just an introvert. Do not try to change her personality, or push her to go out. It can put her under a lot of pressure, which is very dangerous
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE

AlphaDoti, I have no issues against polygamy, but don't you think that is a very flimsy reason to get a 2nd wife. I mean, you must have known she was not outgoing when you married her, yet you popped the question.

Well put. Your friend doesn't know he holds a jewel. Refer to the description above and you would be mad when your wife is all over. She is just unique. Never ever compare your wife with others. Perhaps she also asks the same questions, why she got a roaming partner who will never be at home. Our characters are complimentary, where she is less gifted mostly likely the partner is well gifted. Try to identify what her strengths are and make use of them. You be amazed, she might be the cornerstone the builders ignored. I attended one of the seminars and the analogy they gave was your wife is boat and the partner the water, how high the boat floats depends on the water(the partner) Good luck.

When you say it is flimsy reason, it leads us to the question whether we are making assumptions or not.

Let us not make assumptions. Whether he knew she her well or not is not the issue.
It has happened, they are married now, this is her nature, what are his options?

This is the big question and dilemma for a brother and he is now in a dangerous position. He can easily be misled.
Just to avoid home not hurt her, he can end spending so much time in bad company to have fun and get involved with women (girlfriends or mistresses) not realising that when this comes out eventually (and it does), she will be very hurt.

NOTE: Do not tell me "who told you he will get involved with women?"

I can see this coming because his problem now is not male friends. His problem is his wife, he's yearning for a different kind of fun. So that's how I make the conclusion.

So for me, I know that one solution does not work for everybody.
- He could be high libido guy, so what is your solution for him?
- She could be low libido woman, what is the solution?

Since you have no issues with polygamy, let those who opt to do it be free to do it. Those who do not want, to stick with one woman.
But pretending and then going ahead and have girlfriends and mistresses will hurt your wife more!!!

I'm glad my marriage law allows it for me. But it does not mean I have to go for it.

But it's an option. Not the mpango wa kando way! Shame on you

Variety is the spice of life, employ some dialogue and get to an agreement that she will be accompanying you and the children once in a while and you on the other hand have days when you stay home and keep her company. Love becomes rich by way of couples going the extra mile for each other.
Has she always been like this or she changed halfway through the journey, which would be a sign of a problem, maybe depression which needs to be treated.
If it looks like its extreme and has always been the case maybe its a sign of problems that she may have gone through(an abusive parent/parents etc) causing her to start keeping to herself as she doesn't trust so many people.
This would be solved by way of counselling.

Try going out just you, her and the kids in some sight seeing areas like lake Bogoria so out of town. Build the family unit first by making her know by you all being out of the home setup you enjoy the family unit. Do this repeatedly as much as you can afford.

When she becomes comfortable with this holiday like family outings, introduce slowly getting to those bigger family get togethers, weddings, birthdays etc but remember the word slowly lest she pull back on all the positive impact you have made.

If she cann't stay longer in this groupings, granted allow her to leave mid way. Whenever she does this make apoint of telling her how you appreciated her company through what she likes and hopefully you shall have a different person all together and both will enjoy each others activities.
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence
