Hi Ozzie,

You have received so many posts about this, I am not even going to look at them, probably because, in one way or another, they may say the same thing I will.

It sounds as though he may be a little jealousy/envious about your time spent elsewhere and on other things that are not directly related to him. I sometimes, feel the same about those that care about me. It is only out of fear of abandonment - that these new and exciting things that you do takes away from the time that he wants (or feels he needs) from you.

Just out of curiousity, have you ever tried including him (even when he says he doesn't want to be?) in these new adventures? Sometimes, allowing him to feel that you really NEED him to do some things in order to continue your pursuits is enough to make him feel a part of.

Just a thought....

I always feel left out of many new adventures that my friends, family, boyfriend start, because they never seem to NEED or want my help. And whether or not they actually do, is not the point. I just feel like I am mostly in the way at that point and don't know how to respond, except through passive-agressive responses, like your husband seems to be doing.
