[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I went out for breakfast this morning. This afternoon, my BIL was hosting a brunch with my mom and sister. DH refused to come, even after I asked him. He said he was looking forward to the "afternoon by himself." I am hurt because everyone else's spouse was there and [b]he had no reason not to come[/b].

He didn't want to. That's enough of a reason for an adult to not do something.[/quote]

Wouldn't that be nice!?! That only works for an adult who lives alone with none of the responsibilities that come along with being married and part of a family. And one who is self employed, I should add.[/quote]

Perhaps we have different views of what "family" entails but my idea of it does not mean that the husband must jump at every request his wife barks out. In my family we respect each other's personalities and own desires, which may include respecting someone who is introverted, doesn't like last minute plans, or doesn't enjoy a particular holiday because of his own sad upbringing. You may choose to dictate your husband's every move (I'll bet he loves that) but in every family, it is not the same. [/quote]
