[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have been arguing recently about me going out.  And by going out, it can mean spending a day with my girlfriend - for instance, leave at 1pm come home 6pm.  We've been together for 13 years and most of that time our out of home activities have been together.  I told him a few months ago that I wanted to do things that were not with him some of the time, e.g. going to gfs house or going to happy hour, etc.  He's never been one to like to go out to eat - we've NEVER been to a movie together - and he is and stated as such content with being home and that his vision of a happy home is staying home as a family.

I've found this to be stifling to say the least.  He doesn't enjoy going out to eat - so unless I do lunch with a coworker, it means that I don't go out to eat.  He doesn't enjoy going to the movies - so I've learned to wait for OnDemand.

But now that I want to - without him - he doesn't say well "let's go", he's offended that I want to go without him and it's causing a huge rift.  He takes it a personal affront and says that I "don't want to be with him" if I choose other people and/or activities.

I feel suffocated and it's making me contemplate divorce.  Sorry to hi-jack - but pseudo-related?  Any insight and/or thoughts?
