Yeah, and he should care that it feels like that. Instead of defending his point of view, he should be trying to find out yours more, like what you are getting out of this. Laughing is good. And married people should have other friends, I believe. (Not that we do, because we're both hermits, but I hope we develop a bit. Anyway.)
