hey, well he may feel as if u want him to go out bcus hes insucure and scared about another man he may not realise ur actually just wanting ur own space, u should try talking to him and saying u want some time alone for ur own time, maby u could take a bath for an hour or go for long walks if u cant come to reson with him, when being with some one for so long u an start to feel abit overwhelmed with them being around u all the tym, having time out could stengthen ur relationship and help u want to spend some more time together like goin to the cinema and going out for dinner, take care and good luck with ur man. zoe

I think everyone needs their own space, so I can totally relate.
It's a shame that it's come to you having to ask your husband to go out though to get that space, it's a pity he's not more sensitive to it.
But if he won't give you the time in the house can you get the time some other way - such as:
- take time outside the house? Libray, restaurant, cinema, shopping, gym, park, ?????
- can you get one of his friends to take him out for drinks etc - then it's not your idea and he might go?
- does he work? Take a day off when he's working and then you get the time when he's at work?
Good luck!!
