I just find it interesting that he's embarrassed that she doesn't usually go with him....when he's doing something he knows she doesn't like.




I wouldn't be at all embarrassed if I joined something that was a group activity and my H didn't participate. I'm only embarrassed when he wants me to decline invitations from people with whom we are theoretically both friends. I end up having the feeling that I'm conveying the message "I enjoy doing things with you, but my H doesn't care to hang out with your H or boyfriend.". I've only recently been able to transcend this situation by doing things like laughing as I say to my girlfriend "Tell your H that it's nothing personal. Mr.W likes hanging out with you guys better than 99% of the population but he is just a hermit."
