one thing that always irked me when i was with my ex was when I'd try to introduce him to my friends or my family member and he'd say, "I'll be nice, but I won't be their friend." or when I'd tell him I wanted us to at least make friends together he'd be dodgy and sketchy about it. like, that's not normal, right? it made me feel so isolated, like he didn't care to be involved in my life

A relationship should be about growing together including making friends as a couple. His dodginess was a red flag.
Feeling isolated in a relationship is one of the worst feelings. It’s like they’re physically there but emotionally distant.
I find that so weird really, I mean what are they trying to say? That I dont like people or I dont like your people? I think its a thing where it shows that they dont want to make an effort for you. It is indeed irksome!
You deserve someone who wants to be involved in your world not someone who makes you feel like an outsider in your own life.
Nah that’s definitely not normal. If someone cares about you they should at least try to connect with the people in your life.
I wonder why that is, mine was similar with my family. his own mother wouldn't have him for Christmas but my family asked him to come the first Christmas I met him, and every Christmas from then on aside from that he made zero effort to call to them yet I was heavily involved with his family events. there's good to take out of it though, at least you don't have to unlearn having them around your friends and family. you don't miss them in that aspect of your life because they never were really there. hope you're ok
