how can i get my husband to introduce me to others in social situations?

Answer 1

You can introduce yourself, or just talk to your husband. Once you tell him to introduce you, he should.

Answer 2

Tell him that you would appreciate him introducing you to others in social situations, especially if these are people you do not know. Try doing a practice run of it in your home. If neither of these work then you will just have to be the one to introduce yourself.

Answer 3

Be very direct with this. When you are around people tell in a polite but serious (not angry) way, "Hey introduce me"

I'm a man and I grew up ghetto so it may seem different for me but I demand people introduce me to others. Otherwise I will introduce myself and point out to whoever later that next time they need to introduce me. - Its an aggressive part of my character so you may want to add a fem touch to it. It suprises me how some just dont think about it, so dont get mad at him. Not a big deal. Don't over analyze or get too emo about it. Just let him know its important to you.

Answer 4

I've been in this situation before and after talking to my husband I discovered that sometimes he forgot the person's name and would be embarrassed and not introduce me. When that happens I will introduce myself if I want to.

Answer 5

This is a matter of social immaturity on his part. You will have to help him to remember; tell him, sweetly,in private, how his forgetfulness makes you feel. Don't nag, fuss, get angry, mad; just let him know you are hurt, and that somewhere in your vows he promised not to hurt you ( protect from harm).

Be aware that sometimes introductions are passed over because the introducee may not be able to remember other peoples names. This has happened to me, and it makes for an awfully awkward and embarrassing situation, that one has to try and avoid someway. The easiest way, is to be the jerk, and not make an attempt.

But if he falters, you must step in very quickly and introduce yourself.

Also, do others a favor by saying your name as soon as someone is being introduced to you, saving them the possible embarrassment of making a gaffe, themselves. Pleas do not wait around to see if they are going to remember your name, and possibly causing them embarrassment. That's not nice, either!

Answer 6

It must be a guy thing (sorry, gentlemen!)... what I have done is allow my husband the opportunity to introduce me. If he does not (and he usually does not), I will offer the other person my hand and say, "I don't believe we have been properly introduced. My name is... pleased to meet you." I have found doing usually gets no response whatsoever out of my husband, but at least I know who I am talking to - same situation with my father-in-law. Perhaps it is hereditary!

Answer 7

Open communication with him to allow him to know how you feel. Do it in a way that shows him that you really like the time you have together, but it would make you feel better if he would introduce you to the people with whom he talks. This may open the door to good communication between both of you too. Focus on I statements that are not accusatory and there is nothing wrong with saying when you do not introduce me it makes me feel ________. You may also want to say to him that you are not looking to steal the spotlight from him if this would help. Good luck with the situation.

Answer 8

Always introduce your self ,It removes all doubt that perhaps he is trying to hide the fact he is married or #2 that he does not want some people to know what his wife looks like ,in case he is seen with some one else .So take the initiative.
He may not remember the guys name and you would be helping him out also .:)

Answer 9

You tell your husband (1) introduce me or I will introduce myself, (2) he will look socially backward if you are forced to do this, (3) mention the possibility you will have to cite his inability to do this to the person to whom you're introducing yourself, and (4) gradually escalate the words you use to call attention to his ineptitude.

Answer 10

My ex-husband used to do that too me even after I told him how I felt. How I finally solved it was to introduce myself as the culturally polite half of the couple. It embarrassed him so bad,he never did it again!
And to all of you that say,"Do it yourself", it is rude for anyone,your friend, your mom, your child to see someone they know when with you and just leave you standing there. Introducing them is the only polite thing to do.No matter what your relationship.
