[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Ok, ok, ok, I hear you--esteemed voices of DCUM. I get it. Over sensitive. Letting it go.[/quote]

Not that so much, OP. The thing is, a friend invite day our husband out to a place you know you don't like. Your husband, perhaps intuiting that you didn't want to feel left out (which is a whole other issue), invited you to go. You went, you didn't like it, you took the car home, you were clearly annoyed that your husband stayed out later, you made a kind of big emotional deal out of the while thing, he apologized, and it wasn't enough for you. And you're not happy with how he handled it, but you've conceded that you may have overreacted. He can't make you feel validated. You have to understand that.

How old are you and how long have you been married? Do you have children? My husband and I were both more like this when we were younger and more insecure. Now we are much more willing to give each other space and much less likely to overreact to things. Plus we both realize that feelings of validation can really only come from within ourselves. We all have to learn to meet our own needs, not expect others to do that for us. [/quote]
