Hi, thank you Janna We have tried socializing , trying to invite friends over that will engage him in other things ,but our friends have given up and comes up with excuses which is hurtfull.
We do go visit our families -- for a short period of time from time to time but my husband feels like he is left out of things .

Socialising can be difficult and true friends seem to be rare, but as @Janna mentioned joining groups can help.
Maybe something separate for you and him ... I dont know how many commitments you have ... if you can join a carers group etc or a craft or pursue a personal interest and he find a support group.
If he is unclear and changing his mind all the time then it is important not to force things.

yeah @Appleblossom
A sad outcome of a diagnosis is isolation.
Can your partner see his GP and ask for centres, he may resonate with.
My husband. diagnosed chronic paranoid schizophrenia.....and I are checking Lorikeet out next week....a meeting place for people with MI, where we live in Western Australia.
