A woman married more than twenty years says neighbors invited her husband to dinner to thank him for yardwork but excluded her even though she was home. Her husband later described the evening to their adult son as if she were not present and blamed her in advance for any complaint. Marriage and family therapy is suggested if this behavior signals a larger problem. Separately, a man named Will was blindsided when his wife admitted she never loved him and left for her stepbrother. Will is now seeing a woman he met on Facebook Dating who is a certified nursing assistant, wears a large diamond ring from him, and posts publicly about wanting multiple cruises; there is concern about her intentions given her public desires and lifestyle.
This afternoon, my husband came home and told me our neighbors had invited him out to dinner to thank him for helping them with their yardwork yesterday. Usually, I'm at work in the afternoon, but today was my day off. When I asked him if I was included, he said, No. Just me! I felt bad but didn't show it.
My husband came home a few hours later and began talking to our adult son about their evening as if I wasn't there. When I asked why he didn't tell them I was home and would've come along, his response was, I knew you would somehow make it my fault that you didn't come! I told him it didn't look right that he was tagging along while his wife was left behind. Am I overreacting?
Your neighbors were wrong to invite your husband out and exclude you. But what happened after that makes me wonder if something more is wrong in your relationship with your husband (I knew you would make it my fault, etc.). If this is a symptom of a larger problem, you and your husband should discuss it with the help of a marriage and family therapist. Your doctor or health insurance company can refer you.
