I am new to this group. Iv been married twenty two years. My husband is very good looking ,loyal, a great dad and a great provider. But he is not a very good friend and a selfish lover. He is super selfish when it come to me. He is an recovering addict. To pot , my scripts, or whatever is on his mind. Fishing,golfing every season of baseball, basketball, an football if his team is winning. Things were real bad for the last five years. I patiently hoped and prayed. He thinks he should fish every chance if a friend takes him, he's been going every Wednesday nites, I didn't complain. He watches games on TV at the cost of time with kids and myself. I barely say anything. Iv been begging him to get off couch and all of us go for. A day trip, or a walk or to lake or fish off land . Nope. He won't take the trash either. Just the couch and friends invites and tv. He took off sat nite didn't come home till six am. (Fishing with a friend) but he didn't tell me . And on top of everything we are in a church band and on worship team. This just started 4 months ago. I feel like a pet dog. Since he's been home from the all niter he's texted me the next day. (I'll buy you steak dinner) he offered to take me to a movie right then I knew he was only asking to take me because he thinks if he gives me a treat I'll not mind him leaving me alone to go be with fish buddy. He only does something nice to get whatever he wants in return. He won't touch me hug me or kiss unless he wants satisfaction. I'm relly hurt and tired of it . The only time he takes us so where is if it something he wants to do like go to baseball game. We've been to anger counciling, he has only single or friends that r way more selfish then him. So he'll tell me I'm so lucky he's not worse. He has munipulated my ability to have friends of my own all these years. I really could use a chat.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Live YOUR life honey not his. Just do what you want to do, he sounds a bit depressed or something. Definitely not being a great partner and friend to you.
Something doesn't feel right to me as well. Does he ever bring fish home? Did you check his geer to see if he was actually fishing?
Good luck, I feel for you.
Are you in some kind of individual counseling? It may help you to talk to someone, independent of your husband, to sort this stuff out and get some clarity around how you want to live your life, whether it's still married, with him going off and doing his own thing, or whether you decide to you're done.
I noticed you have significant health issues. I have an autoimmune disease and know how stress and worry can leave you vulnerable to getting sick, not taking the best care of yourself and not getting good rest. This is not healthy for you, mentally, emotionally or physically.
He really has made me think that I'm ridiculous for feeling this way . I agree with u (cairn )that it feels like the other woman. My married friends are each other's friend ,not other single men. I thought every Wednesday was enough. I have been his fishing partner before boat and with boat . Now I'm just never invited by his friends. So I totally believe the fishing thing I'm just hurt, presently and historically by his lack of friendship to me. And he keeps trying to make me feel bad for him and I don't want his stumped makeup treats , dinners . I figured if he cared and knew I felt alienated he wouldn't have gone. This is Not the first time . Your comments make me feel what's the word verified.?
