I really love my wife. She is definitely my best friend and we can talk about anything. My friends, however, are always telling me I am whipped because I always want to spend time with her and not them. I'm sure there is a healthy balance between a husband and wife and he should spend time with his friends as well, but she is not only my wife but my friend. All the things I am interested in, she is too so it's not like I'm missing the "male bonding" time where we watch basketball games or play video games because she does that too. Do you think it's a bad thing that I diss my fellows for my fair lady?

I think you are a smart man! I think the relationship between a husband and wife is much more important than bonding with someone else! As long as you and your wife enjoy being together and doing these things, don't let anyone cut you down. My husband and I have always enjoyed being together. He has never seen the need to 'hang out' with the boys and I haven't felt the need to 'hang out' with the girls. He doesn't tell me I can't go see my friends, which I do once in awhile, and I don't restrict him to just me. But it's not something we have to have in our lives. We are happy and content to be together. We both love sports. We watch football and soccer together. And, if he doesn't want to go to a school game, he doesn't mind me going by myself. We've been married over 44 years so I can tell you togetherness is good, NOT bad. After all, you married to be together, didn't you?

Thanks for the post! It's encouraging to hear that. I've known my wife for 11 years (we dated in high school and broke up, then got back together 7 years later) and we've been married for a year and a half now and I like the way things are now. We get along great and rarely disagree and I want things to stay that way. You're right, I did marry her to be with her and that's what I'm going to do.

I appreciate you for loving your wife that much. Giving her such a great time is a very desirable attitude. Of course its not bad to spend more time with your wife than with your friends. I'm sure your friends will understand...
