I've
tried everything I know to get my husband to share some of his buddy

Vixen's Answer
Sometimes
it's hard to understand that the person you love so much can have fun
with somebody besides you. It's not that he doesn't love you, or that
he doesn't want to spend time with you, but many men require their
"Guy Time". He could certainly take you with him on a couple outings
(and you might bring this up as a compromise) but you've got to understand
his need for male companionship. This is his time to just let loose
and not be censured for comments or crude behavior. I'm sure there's
times when you're out with your girlfriends, gabbing and chatting,
talking about stuff you know he'd have a fit over. So it goes both
ways.
