We have a group of friends that has a monthly card game night (occasionally twice/month). They were DH's friends before we met, and he is much closer to them. They are all nice, we get along, but I don't have much in common (until recently, we have been the youngest by 10-20 years), and I don't enjoy the card game they play very much. I have tried very hard, since DH and I want more mutual friends. A few times I haven't gone because either I had other plans, or tired/wasn't feeling well (we've had a lot going on, most of which they know, and I've been having side effects of meds for IF, which they don't know). I went to the monthly game in early May, immediately after I arrived home from a work trip and left early due to a migraine. I also went to a second card game in May, and attended a Memorial Day party. DH and I both missed the June game due to a conflict. He went to a last minute fourth of July game, and I stayed home since I was tired from nonstop events the two days prior.

Last night right before we went to sleep, DH mentioned that there was another game this weekend, and that people are starting to ask where you are, and prying questions. I asked who, and he said several people, and it seemed well beyond the "oh, we missed her, say hi." I'm annoyed. I go most of the time, but it's been getting less fun, and hearing this makes me want to go even less. I'm wondering if DH has been making it sound worse than it is without meaning to.

Sorry for the long post, but my questions:
1. Are they being nosy/expect too much, or am I being oversensitive?
2. How would you handle this?

Thanks!
