My hubby is far too jealous to "allow" me to hang out with my gal pals, so I don't often enjoy time away from him. He's too self-centered and thinks my world should revolve around him. I'd hate to admit how old I am - enough to be your mother! The only way I have a social life of my own is through my few activities in which he takes no interest. When we go to dinner with the family (he gets drunk and too embarrassing to go with friends), he has to be the center of attention, or he'll be on his cell phone trying to attract attention. He doesn't seem to understand just how obnoxious and rude that is.
I don't think it's a generational difference, more an individual difference. Frankly, it's hard to believe we've managed to stay married as long as we have! But, you can bet your booty that I'm expected to let him go off to do what he wants.

Selfish, isn't it!
