My husband is jealous and socially awkward. He ruins every fun night we've had. He gets weird when he knows we're about to hang out with people. If we're by ourselves, it's fine but if there are any other people involved, he starts picking fights that eventually lead us to cancel our night. If he sees me laughing and having fun with my friends, he gets jealous and says stuff like, "What was that about?" When I ask him to elaborate, he says, "I saw the look you gave me." Because there was obviously no look, I am him what he's talking about. "I saw you and Ashley give each other a look when I asked you guys to hold on when I ran back to get my jacket!" I'm left feeling really confused so I raise my voice in defense and then he says, "Why are you being so defensive?!" And then my frustration gets the best of me so we fight. I'm left in such a rotten mood that all I want to do is go home. He's done this for 5 years now. I have a better time when my husband doesn't come to social events, which is a shame because I'm very extroverted and enjoy talking to people and going out.
I started waiting until he leaves for business travel to go out and do things. I intentionally schedule social events when I know he won't be there for them. I pull out cash at the grocery store checkout so he doesn't know and I use it to pay for my food and drinks when I'm out. It's a freeing feeling when I'm out without him, like I can laugh and enjoy myself without a fight. He's not a narcissist, just a big self centered baby. His dad is the same way and has ruined similar things for his mom. We've talked about it and the best solution is to continue doing what I enjoy without him knowing.
I don't feel bad about it. I'm not doing anything deviant, I'm just enjoying the city the way I intended.

panic attacks
I have really bad panic attacks and especially speaking in front of my classes or in front of a huge crowd. So, for me I try to avoid it at all costs, but today...
Yeah that's just how he is. My dad and brother are the same way. I think a lot of males are just like that. I personally can't stand it and I've just always been a lesbian.
ReplyWhile reading this i feel I'm somewhat like your husband. Not that extreme but somewhat. Now i know that i shouldn't be that kind of person to my partner. If he starts to hide everything after me being possessive and jealous, then i have literally failed my marriage it seems.
