[quote=Anonymous]I know how you feel man. My wife had some childhood trauma and won't leave ours with anyone including family. It doesn't matter how much you love your kids, they are conducive to a high stress environment. You need a break, and I agree with you...going out alone SUCKS!

My wife can sit home with our baby all day and it's just fine for her. I feel like I'm losing my mind!!! She always suggests I go out and have a good time to relieve stress, but she doesn't understand that she's a part of that. The whole point of getting married was to have a companion. I don't want to go watch a movie alone all the time. I feel like a loser at a concert by myself. One or two times is fine, but for three years!?

I have one buddy that I could hang out with, but as a straight man I don't really wanna go to dinner and a movie with another guy. If I went out with one of my female friends all hell would break loose.

I don't think your attitude is the problem. I think you're just at your wit's end. I don't have a solution other than to just bite the bullet one day and have an all-out war with your wife about it. I kinda made a little progress with mine by telling her one day that she was losing my interest as a romantic partner. Telling your wife that you're starting to see her with the same affection as a coworker can go one of two ways. In my case it got me one date...then back to business as usual. Good luck! [/quote]
