I know exactly how your ex-gf feels. I've had social anxiety my whole life and sometimes I can manage myself better it some situations than others, but my bf doesn't seem as encouraging or as supportive as you. I only have a couple of good friends and I've no problem going out with them but as soon as I'm thrown into his circle of friends and he ditches my side, I'm left standing there alone, unable to move and freezing up on the inside and wondering how the hell do i mix in a crowd when I'm completely lost for words.

Some people need patience and understanding and help, and if you can't help to provide this then I can't see it ever working. Considering leaving my boyfriend too... who knows at this stage,

I TOTALLY disagree with this statement. A marriage is NEVER just 'you', 'me', and 'us'. There are ALWAYS other people involved in your marriage.

Friends and family are a reflection of WHO WE ARE, how we see ourselves, and how we came to be just WHO we are. If there is not a good fit between a potential spouse and family/friends there is going to be a lot of conflict during the marriage.
