I have to admit that having compassion for his decision and his turmoil is one of my biggest problems. I've always been the kind of person who made good choices (except for my choice of husband!) and did "the right thing" , so I just don't understand someone who can't follow the rules and has self destructive behavior. Sounds like your wife is trying to make sure you don't get very many opportunities to meet someone else or socialize with adults. I also think that my h feels like he's in a safe position because I have so little opportunity to meet someone. I'm starting to go out more by myself and letting my husband know about it. I always make it sound more exciting than it really is, but all's fair in love and war!
