why will your missus not come
and meet some internet weirdos?

she's kind of shy (not cripplingly so by any means)
and takes her a while to open up around new people, particularly large groups, and I suspect particularly ones that will seem horribly cliquey like us lot would.

Which would mean she got bored and probably grumpy :-)

that's fair enough :)
a pity, but fair. She seemed v nice when I met her

she is very nice :-)
and as there was just one of you, she was more than happy to meet you.

Can understand where she is coming from though, and a few years ago I probably would have been the same were the positions reversed.

You're just too polite to say
I scared her aren't you haha?

I do get where she's coming from. I was quite worried before my first bash, and certainly v nervous

haha, not at all.
you were worried and you had at least talked to some of the people there :-)
