Quote: Do I even tell her why I am upset? Or do I just shut up, find a baby sitter, and play the cruise director role in the marriage?
I think you need to think a bit about specifically why you're upset. The quote above seems to indicate you would resent always having to plan evenings out, but previous to that, you said:
Quote: My response was (in a very nice tone) "I know you are really busy with the house and if you don't want to handle the social life, then I don't mind being in charge of it".
so which is it? Sounds to me like the real problem is the same one I have... W will NOT enjoy herself on a night out with me no matter WHAT. She just doesn't seem to know what to do on a date. She used to... a VERY long time ago. OTOH, maybe it was just that I was too busy enjoying myself to realize that she was just along for the ride...
If we could go out and have a great time together, I would be THRILLED to have the job of planning it. I would plan evenings like that till I dropped!
