In his defense, he is that age where friendships are so important. He probably lacks the skills to say "Dude, I have plans with my wife" or something like that. Maybe it will come with age.
When I was your age, I was living with my now-husband. When he promised me something and didn't do it (like making sure the kitchen was clean so I could cook when I got home)...I wouldn't gripe...I would just turn around and go eat at sonic or something, go browse at a store, and come home MUCH later. That was before cell phones, so he couldn't call me and see where I was!
I know that is kind of passive aggressive, but it worked so much better than the fussing.
Just a little tip! |
