[quote=Anonymous]Have you told him all this OP? From my perspective you’re doing a lot to
compromise and address his needs but he’s not doing his fair share. You’re married. You shouldn’t have to give up dinner parties completely. It is unrealistic that you wouldn’t share basic info about him to friends. Frankly, he’s being an ass.

If it was me I’d directly ask, “are you still committed to this marriage?”, “I have needs too”, “you are not treating me with respect and that is hurting our marriage”. Sometimes a frank discussion can catch things before they spiral. Point out to him that the expectations he has and the way he’s acting is hurting the marriage. It sounds to me like he’s stewing a bit and is annoyed by you, but maybe doesn’t realize that feeding that is going to eventually wreck the marriage. If you point that out, he may shift his attitude.

Also it really does sound like he’s treating you with contempt. Don’t let him! That just breeds more contempt.  Stand your ground. [/quote]
