My wife started talking and the conversation went something like this. W: My friends are organising a bbq on 12th Nov Me: Which friends? W: With annoyance in her voice “As if you know any of my friends” Me: Ok Minute silence W: Would you like to go?, in a calmer voice Me: You and me? W: They are all going as couples Me: I would love to come
I do not know how social you are, but If I were in your shoes, I would make it a goal to interact with everyone at the bbq, learn and remember as many of their names and "their story" as possible. Make it about them. DO NOT FOLLOW W around like a puppy dog. Most likely she will start following you.
If you want more input on this, let us know.
R2C I would love some more input on this if you have time
