Or if he seems ok with me going out, I'll go out but will constantly be thinking about how he will most likely be all huffy with me when I return. My coworker asked me if I wanted to go out with her after work this week and I immediately don't think "that would be fun" but instead only think about how H will probably be upset and telling him about it stresses me out and I immediately come up with a reason why I can't. Even though he knows how bored I am at home.
The thing is if you don't go out (which is a normal healthy thing to do) because you fear his reaction you are allowing yourself to be controlled by him. How about instead you learn coping strategies to deal with his unreasonable reactions when you return?
