In reading your situation with H and his female friends, I thought I was reading about my H!! LoL. This was one of the things that also led to my seperation because I could not handle it. Now with my eyes wide open I have realized that a large part of it had to do with my own low self-esteem and I was intimidated. Honestly, I don't think either of our H will ever change this attribute about themselves so to me the best way to deal with it is to realize that they married US not those other friends but US which makes us the special ones in their lives.
I think once we realize this and understand that these other 'friends' probably couldn't be compared to us even on our worst day it is easier to deal with and handle.
I think that Jody's suggestion about doing more romantic things are great. Cooking and baking together is always fun.
