My partner and I are going through some things right now based in part on my problem with her not wanting to do anything with me but stay home. We've been together for 6 months and things started great, but for the last 2 months, we've barely gone out on a "date". Most of the time, our time together consists of me coming to her place, order food in or cook, and watch TV or read. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, but I've expressed my desire to go out to a bar or nice restaurant, etc. to change things up. She's agreed to, but on the days I've come over to pick her up I've been met with her lying on the sofa and telling me she's too tired to go out, and we end up staying in again. Once I insisted that we go out as planned and I overheard her grumbling about how she "hates to have obligations to go out on the weekend".
If she was a homebody, things would be different, but I know she isn't. She goes out to the bar with her friend regularly. The other night they went along with her friends dad, stepmom and uncle to a strip club ono a whim. When she goes out with her friend, she also tends to drink about 4-5 drinks, but when we drink at home she's a one-and-done drinker because she gets too tired. She's also made plans to go on trips with other friends this year, which I have no problem with. But when I've asked if we could plan to go somewhere she makes it feel like she has to shoehorn me into her plans. The most I can get her to commit to is a weekend away somewhere. Meanwhile she's making plans to go to Thailand or Monacco this summer.
I've brought up my frustration concerning this and she plays it off as though I'm trying to control what she does with her time, lamost turning it around and somewhat accusing me of trying to make her feel guilty for going out with her friends. As I've explained to her though, I have no problem with that, but I would also like to go out with her occasionally. When I've expressed a desire to go out and drink and let loose once in awhile, her response was "why do you want to get me drunk?" I don't, I just want to have a good time occassionally that involves us leaving her place.
Don't know if this a deal breaker as we have some other things going on as well, but I'd appreciate some perspective.
TL/DR My partner doesn't want to go on dates with me and only wants to hang out at her home.
