How do I get him to like my friends?

How do I convince my husband to be kinder to my friends? We have been married for five years now, and he has always had a problem with them because he thinks they look down upon him. I don’t think that’s true at all because I know my friends very well, but he is fixated on this idea and always behaves as if he is doing them a favour by being around when they visit. My friends have begun avoiding our home, and now invite me to their apartments instead, which has created some tension between us. I would like my husband to get along with them because they are important to me, but he doesn’t see that. What should I do?
You should try listening to what he says and why he says it. Your friends and you will always have a different relationship from what they share with him, as an outsider. You may not feel as if they treat him badly, and they may reject this too, but that doesn’t invalidate your husband’s feelings in any way. I suggest you ask him to elaborate and get him to talk about specific instances where he has felt slighted. This may simply be a case of misunderstanding, which won’t get rectified unless it is dragged out into the open and addressed. Also tell your husband why your friends are important and why it matters to you that they all get along.


Should I ask my girlfriend to move in with me? We have dated for six months but I feel as if she is the one. Am I being too hasty?
You will only know when you present the idea to her and find out if she feels as strongly about you. If she wants more time and space, that will give her a chance to get used to the idea. Either way, there is no manual on when people decide to move in. If you both feel it strongly enough, you can go ahead any time.
