My wife and I work really hard, often doing over-time. On the weekends, I would prefer to chill out and relax – not all the time, but at least one weekend a month. My wife however wants to go out, party, see friends and do things out doors. I try to explain that I’d like some down time, but she ignores me and invites people I definitely don’t want to spend my personal time with? What should I do TT? (Ratchetburg, IO)
Ratchetburg,
What type of a man are you that won’t put your foot down and tell her to get lost when she tries to force the issue? When I was a kid, you would be called “pussy-whipped.” Just so you’re clear, it isn’t a compliment. It refers to a man who allows a woman to run his life the way she wants to. In other words, you are a gutless woosey and need to end this nonsense right away. If she gives you grief, take off without saying a word, and crash at a hotel room for a weekend. Don’t tell her what you’re up to. And most importantly, be a man and do what you want to do.
