See I don't understand the guilt thing. Why do you feel guilty? You can't blame the spouse if that is something that you feel. I tried to explain that to my husband. I don't mind whenever he wants to do anything. The only thing I ask is he tell me when he's doing something. A quick phone call or tell me even in passing. But for some reason he still feels guilty if he wants to do something like I'll get mad. Or hides it because I'll get mad and at the last minute just runs out the door. If he never said he has plans then someimes I start making them for our family. UGH!lol Can you tell this is an issue for my marriage.
