[quote=Anonymous]Summary of issue— he retired a couple of years ago and appears to have forgotten what it’s like to work full time. He insists that I accompany him to events and social things he wants to do (ie sports, going out to dinner with his friends). If I tell him I don’t want to go because I have a lot I need to get done in my free time on evenings and weekends, or simply because I want to relax, he gets mad. For example, we spent most of last weekend (Friday night and all day Saturday) doing activities that he wanted to do.

I told him the other day that it feels like his needs are the priority and if I need time to do something or relax, I need to find a way to squeeze it in somehow. He didn’t really have an answer to this, which means he probably agrees on some level.

My breaking point occurred about 30 minutes ago when he told me he wants us to go to a Christmas party tonight, an hour away, with some of his former work associates _who he doesn’t even like_. I said I’m not going and now he’s not talking to me.

I feel like I am turning into an enormous bitch. I commute two hours each day and I feel like I have no free time. He has endless free time. I am so miserable right now. Help.[/quote]
