My h and I are also piecing, and My h also doesnt want to ever face my family or our old friends very often.He has come to about 3 out of maybe 15 gatherings he should normally be at with me this summer in regards to family and friends celebrations.
It is so hard on me that he treats these people this way. They all think that he just doesnt like them since now he does everything with his new friends. It is causing me a major feeling of being torn between doing things with him or with all of them alone. I hate it. It often makes me feel jealous of what he is doing when I go to these things alone. Like he is up to something and needs time away from me to go do it. Most of the time though when I go to events alone, he will just go to the bars and drink.
Last sat. I went to my parents camp and celebrated my mom's b-day with them alone as usual. When I got home I text my H that I was home and chilling. He said he was too drunk to drive over & that he would see me the next day. However, at 3:30 in the morning I got a call from him to come and bail him out from getting a DWI warning. He blew a 2.2 (bac).This is the third time he has gotten a warning for DWI instead of being arrested when he blows well above the legal limit.
I dont know how to deal with this behavior? How do you do it, with out letting it bother you when your wife doesnt want to be around people from her past? TIPPER
