Of course you do!! And how frustrating it must be to not have her recognize it, huh?
I think that you might have a point about her having a problem with me going somewhere and having "fun", though. How f@cked up is that?
It's not about not wanting you to have fun. It's about her lack of ability to have fun. IMO.
My XH is an attorney so I certainly know the stresses and issues they have. It's not an accident that so many attorneys are alcoholics. Also because their job is to argue a side, it's hard for them to turn it off at home.
AND my XH was a bit like you in being the guy to make everyone laugh. It as definitely part of what drew me to him. Of course then when we were around people it was always about entertaining everyone else. I didn't seem to matter; I guess because he already "had" me and my approval??
