Thread: Am I being controlling?

Why do you have to do all this stuff? Who invites this company? Make some new plans, he invites, he takes care of the cooking and clean up. Have him get a nice grill and let him cook on that. One reason he may skip is home isn't fun, how could it be, you are busy getting ready for or cleaning up after all the time and probably doing it under a cloud of resentment.

What do you want to do? What would be fun? Why do you have to wait for him? Call up some gfs and get out of the house! What do you like to do? Go do it. Get a backpack for the baby and start getting out more. Have you told him what you want? Not nagged, not whined, not waiting for him to read your mind, see that you are POd or unhappy? Men are not mind readers, they far from it! You have to tell them, sometimes you have to tell them over and over. But once it sinks into his mind that there is something you want that he can do to win your pleasure and approval, chances are he will do it. When does something for give him your real approval! Swallow the, "it's about time" and just say thanks and mean it.

Get a copy of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, it's a good investment.

Why are you so concerned about his needs? He can handle those, worry about yours. Men quit giving when they feel it's getting uneven, they don't understand that women will give to the point of exhaustion and then just get POd. Back off, take care of Mama, get a reason to smile! You don't need to give him back his independence, you need to claim your pleasure!
