Sharing things that bother you are just as important as sharing things that you like. Both creates intimacy. Your anger will eventually cause damage to your relationship. I suggest you talk to him soon. I also suggest reading "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. This book really helped my marriage. I hope you get things worked out.

Hello. First of all, I would tell him how you feel. See how he reacts and what he has to say. Since you two are married, I'm sure he'll make an effort to make things better. Tell him you want to spend more time alone with him. Try not to get mad no matter what he says. I used to get so angry with my boyfriend and it was really bad for our relationship, we grew further apart. You need to show him that you care without getting angry. When you get mad at your man and start yelling at him, it doesn't do anything. If your husband invites your friends to join you all of the time, then just refuse to go with him. Make an excuse to get out of it. That's not cool that he is ignoring you and it sounds like he wants to be with his friends. Give him space to be with his friends while you do your own thing!

As you continue to mature, it sounds to me like you will become increasingly unhappy and dissatisfied with this relationship, but know that we all make some errors along the path of life. Best advice: Speak up, tell it like it is, make reasonable demands - and if still unsatisfied, make necessary decisions for your own good. Always put your personal welfare and happiness first. You deserve it, just as all of us should enjoy in life.
