[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the big issue here isn't the frequency or the leaving early, but the fact that he is turning this into some sort of fight/power struggle every time.  I would talk about THAT.  Not how often, but the fact that he is so negative about every single social occasion means that he is punishing you for wanting to socialize.  What if you complained and griped and made him feel like a jerk every time he went for a run?  It would suck the pleasure out of it and that's not fair.

Once you explain that his attitude is the problem, then you can find a compromise--e.g., he will go to three social events with you per month, staying at least 3 hours each time with a cheerful and positive attitude and in return you won't even ask him to attend any other events.  He is 100% off the hook except for those 3 things.  Everything else you will send apologies or go solo.[/quote]

This is great advice [/quote]

No its not. Explaining to someone that their "attitude is the problem" has actually never improved a situation in the history of humanity.[/quote]
