Ok, so I have heard women complain that their husband spends too much time with friends. Then there is the porn complaints. My complaint is that my husband is obsessed with spending time with his dad. They have to talk almost every night, the weekends are worse. They have to talk about fishing and hunting ALL the time. He can be on the phone with his dad for over 3 hours! If we have any conversation, his dad's name has to come into it. I told him I want to take up walking after work, "yeah, dad is doing that". We need directions to somewhere, "I'll call dad, he'll give it to us." "I gotta call dad to find out how to cook this"....."dad, wants us to come over for dinner", "dad wants us to go 4-wheeling", "I am going fishing with dad", "dad wants me to go set up a camera in the hills to see what MIGHT walk by for us to hunt later", "dad wants me to go BACK up to GET the camera to see what actually walked in front of it".....on and on and on.....now, I need to tell you DAD is married to my husbands mom....and there is a whole other story there....I am not comfortable around her because of some stuff that happened before I was married to my husband (there is a scum welfare girl that has his baby from a drunken one night stand-before he met me-and they play tons of games with us) so the atmosphere around his parents is not comfortable for me. BUT I will go with him on a regular basis to socialize with them because it means a lot to him. He knows I am uncomfortable (and so is he about the situation) but all he cares about it hanging out with his dad...every single weekend. He keeps saying, "my dad isn't going to be around forever (his dad is in his mid 50's) so I want to spend as much time making memories as possible." It's a huge problem. I am even seeing a counselor about all the problems we have because of his inability to break away and be more of a husband than a little boy playing with his dad. NO, there is nothing weird or sick going on between him and his father...they are BEST FRIENDS, but act like they are teenagers that have no responsibility in life. His dad leaves his wife home all the time to go fish or hunt. It isn't your normal life where the husband makes plans to hang out with the guys for a yearly fishing/hunting trip. It is open season here all but 1 or 2 months....so they are constantly going fishing/hunting. And it is all day from 4am to 9pm. I get left home all the time so he can spend time with his dad. If I complain he gets mad and tells me that as soon as his dad dies I will be happy. That is not true. I know he likes to spend time with him, but it seems like neither of them can go a day without knowing what the other person is doing. Usually that is how you are to your husband or wife. My counselor says that it is not normal the amount of time they spend together...but if I mention that I don't want to spend every weekend with his parents, he gets mad and says "what are we supposed to do?, not spend any time with our friends?"...well, I don't consider them to be "friends" that we should constantly HANG OUT with....I want friends our age with some common interests we can share so we have more time as a married couple. I am getting to the point where I hate when his father calls....I like his dad, but our lives revolve around him! How do I get my husband to see how he acts about his dad is not natural?
