BitsandPieces answered Thursday February 28 2008, 7:21 pm: "Always" is a lot...is it really always, or does it just feel that way. Be careful in accusing someone of an "always," because that kind of overgeneralization usually makes the other person very defensive and arguments result. On the other hand if you are positive in your attitude and make plans together to do some things that are new to both of you or that he likes, he will be more willing. Don't worry about whether he has fun with his friends and nip that jealousy in the bud now. He deserves friends and fun and so do you! Make some plans with your friends when he does and don't sit around and mope. Your happiness does not rest in anyone's hands but your own.

I think that he feels he likes hanging out with his friends is becasue they can get into real depth about a certain topic. If you learn as much as they know then you can join in the conversation. Maybe cook him a fabulous dinner that contains all of his favorite foods so you can talk to him more. Maybe simply asking him why you guys don't hang out more and why he doesn't invite you. Communication is the key to a successful relationship. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]

He doesn't know there is a problem if you don't say something.
Communication is important in a marriage.
