I don't get it! This is more of a rant than anything. But I have this friend that is a tough dude. I mean he can kick the shit out of 99.9% of people here without breaking a sweat one arm tied behind his back. But in the company of his wife he's the biggest pussy around! Hell he doesn't have to even be in her presence he walks around afraid to go home for fear he's going to get yelled at. Ok get this here are a few examples:
1. I stopped by his house to drop off some tools so he can finish fixing his house. He and I talked in his driveway for about 15 mins then as I'm about to leave he said "I'm gonna be in trouble she's going to be pissed that I'm outside hanging out with you and not inside being with her."
I think WTF?????? And he's DEAD serious too! So I just walk away and say "That's your problem not mine."
2. Today we are eating at Outback. A good mutal friend came from out of town so we decided to go to lunch. My friend starts talking about how his wife is going to bitch him out for spending time away from home. The rest of us are thinking WTF is wrong with you we have out of town company! Then we ask him if he can hang out for a few more hours to play pool and he says no. He said he's already in trouble and that he doesn't want to call her to ask permission to stay out later. In fact he turned off his phone because he was scared she would call. So he decided to go home and not call her to "ask" her if he can stay out. Then during his reasoning he says the unthinkable, "Its better to ask forgiveness than it is to ask permission."
I just about choked on my lunch. That was the most pathetic 1 liner I have EVER heard in my entire life. And just when I think I've heard it all!!!!
Ok rant over. But for real I have no idea what to do with this guy or what to tell him. Hell is there a solution to this madness!!!

Wow, sounds like he is whipped. A relationship should be 50/50... not 80/20, like in your friends' case.

Some guys NEED and search out that sort of thing in their life, there is no right or wrong about it. Just because you're not the same way doesn't mean you should go and try to change him. I have a friend who is like that and he is perfectly happy being bossed around even though he complains about it sometimes. If he is TRULY miserable, he will find his own way out.
Me? A few years away from being 40 and not even close to being married ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

My friends tease me about my situation, because I physically do not know how much money I have and have to ask for money. My wife handles all the bills and stuff, and even gives me an allowance ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) . But it works for us because I have to run a business and handle many clients so in that way she completes me. I couldnt manage our house + 2 rental properties + 5 boys.... sometimes things just work. Maybe your homies wife holds him together mentally and keeps him out of trouble and on his toes.

I don't know if you have been in any long serious relationships, but let me tell you, sometimes you will do anything to avoid an arguement because its not worth it.
If you live together, and the woman aign't happy, YOU aign't happy. Believe that.

I could understand when a married man can't go out drinking with his buddies on a Friday night because his wife is at home without any plans. I could understand if a guy has to make a house call in the middle of going out to his wife/gf. But the line is drawn when he can't talk to his buddies in his own driveway or go out or go out with an old friend that he probably won't see for a while. That is just plain obsessive and insecure, that is of course, he is no fueling his wife's attitude.
Bottom line is that some guys can live with it and most can't.
