I can't tell you how many times I've asked myself that same question:( I'm just not smart when it comes to picking husbands.

The issue did get better between the time we first started dating and when we got married. However, it's instantly obvious whenever we're around his friends or family. They (and he) expect me to fade into the background completely. I feel uncomfortable in my own home when he gets a call from anyone (cell); he takes off for another part of the house. He'll even let calls go to voice mail and say something like "It's dad...I'll call him later" but not do so when I'm home.

He's been working temporarily for FedEx while looking for another job. He tells me that he can't call me while at work due to the noise while his cell phone bill (I pay bills) shows multiple daily calls to one of his friends; we're talking 6-10 CALLS A DAY.
