Thanks Kaylar...it is pretty hard to deal with. I know if I have other interests that take me away my husband will get upset. Not that I don't want other interests. I had to give up my two best friends right before we got married because of the little that had his kid (you responded on another thread about that), so I don't have anyone to hang out with. We are going on a cruise for our honeymoon (we have only been married for 5 months, together 2 1/2 years) so we will get time away from his father for one week. It wasn't like this until we got married. He was pretty absorbed with his friends when we were living together. I have told him that I am going to get a part time job to keep me busy so I am not always alone at home....he said he really doesn't like that idea but I should do what makes me happy. I did tell him that eventually we won't do anything together because he is so busy with his father and I am working a second job and we will grow apart. He said he doesn't want that but still puts no boundaries on their relationship. I wish we could move far away (another suggestion you gave me in another thread because of his mother and the little that has his kid), but that isn't going to happen. I love him very much, but I can't handle all this family time. He needs to be a grown up and realize I am his family.
