[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Yes, we do plenty of things together - we share a lot of common interests and like to spend a lot of time together.  I don't generally back out of doing something with him, so in my mind he should be an "adult" and understand that I just really need to do that this time.

That's part of why I'm having a hard time here.  Sure, I could just go with him because its important to him - that's easy to do.  But that won't fix the difficulty I'm having understanding him and not being dismissive of his feelings.  [/quote]

you ever stop and think that some maybe most of the things you do together he does FOR you and not because he's necessarily interested to do it for himself?  OP, you are being defensive so stop.  you say you listen but still don't understand - you're not listening but just hearing what you want to hear.

have you asked him how much this particular event means to him.  do you know why it's important?  maybe he loves showing off his hot wife to the other husbands.  suck it up, it's a couple of hours.  you know, deep down, you've made him suffer through much worse (at least it was to him).

by the way, welcome to the world of men - we deal with this ALL the time and we suck at figuring it out.[/quote]
