Something I wished someone told me before meeting my husband
I wished someone would’ve told me to not date a man that doesn’t have friends. My husband has a couple of online friends who he plays video games with but other than that he calls our 3 yr old his best friend which to me is weird because once he gets school age and makes his own friends he’s not gonna look at his dad as his friend.
Because he doesn’t have friends of his own he hates that I have friends and thinks because I go to brunch once a month that I put my friendships that I put them over my family.
We started dating right as covid hit so it took me a while to realize that he didn’t have his own community of ppl. He literally gets mad when I say one of my friends invited me to a birthday party or something. Idk what to do I just feel like he wants to isolate me from everyone and stay a hermit with him

Boys like to do this
Isolate their women
I hope 🙏 and pray it gets better
It sounds like my boyfriend. He thinks because I’m quiet and at home most of the time that when I go out and do something I’m doing it to be sneaky and I have to remind he that sometimes I just want to do stuff by myself and not be around him all the time, it doesn’t mean I’m doing anything wrong
Continue to maintain your friendships and your brunches. Don't allow yourself to become isolated. He will either learn to accept he can't be your shadow, form his own friends or simply sulk in silence. Don't allow him to trigger you into feeling guilt or anger. On the day of any friendship meets, don't feed into any drama he will try to cause in hopes of ruining it for you. Suggest he joins meetup to find hobbies and like minded people who share his interests. If you can get him into therapy so he can get to the root of why he wants to be a killjoy.
Ultimately I chose to leave an ex who was like this but that was due to my ex having extreme control issues.
