I feel like I’m competing…
I apologize for how long this is… My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years. A little background my husband is from Nigeria and was in school when we met. He worked hard to get the good job that he has now but prior to that he use to work at Amazon for over a year. At Amazon he met a friend who was also from Nigeria they instantly became friends. Which I thought was great in the beginning. But soon it became a problem. His friend was also married and him and his wife would fight all the time and he would call on my husband to come to his rescue. It wasn’t my issue. I use to feel bad for him he made his wife sound like a horrible person. Until they moved into the same apartment complex as us. Then we got to know his wife more and it turns out he was actually the liar and manipulator. He made her out to be a horrible wife but never said what he did to provoke her. He’s also a liar. My husband knows this. It’s really none of our business and he continues to be his friend. Idc who he is friends with but more and more I’m starting not to like this guy. He will call my husband at random hours of the night claiming he needs his help with something. My husband would jump at any thing this guy asks him to do but my husband doesn’t get the same treatment from him.
Now I feel like he puts his friends before me. Literally every week he is going to his friends house to spend hours and drink and watch soccer with him. Something he didn’t use to do. He doesn’t invite me to go out with him anymore. He comes in the house from work change his clothes in 5 mins and leave right back out. He’s let his friend drop him off at work and use his car for the day. I have to take my car to the shop and I asked if I could do the same drop him off and use his car and he made a big deal about it. He works in a office and don’t have to leave until it’s time to get off. It was okay for your friend to do it but me YOUR WIFE can’t this one time?? I’ve told him I feel like he puts his friends before me now and of course he says that’s not true but it is. I feel annoyed, fed up, frustrated. And yes it maybe some jealousy of him choosing to spend every damn day with his friends now but it’s like he doesn’t even try to carve out time for me. I’ve expressed this and it’s like he doesn’t care. I dread the weekends because now I know he’s not coming home until like midnight because he’s hanging with friends. Every Thursday, friday, and Saturday. The only reason he’s home by 9 the other days is because he has work in the morning. I’m tired. Any advice?
