my wife won't go out without me?

Yikes... she sounds very dependent on you.

Why don't you encourage her to go out... tell her, you want her to have some fun with some girls and she has nothing to worry about, because you will be at home when she returns.

I think she just needs the motivation from you to go, and may be uneasy about going because she is afraid it will upset you.

Sounds like she may have some co-dependency issues as well. I think you need to sit her down and explain to her that its ok and healthy for her to go out with her friends for a while, but its not healthy to rely on you and your friends for all her socializing. Don't say it mean, just try to motivate her and give her encouragement to go out.

She needs to have her own friends too. You both need time apart occasionally to appreciate the time you have together. I go out or get together with my friends at least once a week. Do you ever get to do anything without her? I couldn't handle someone so clingy.

Tell her that you are going out with friends too, and she is not invited. She can stay home alone if that is her choice. You can't force her to go out with friends without you, but you are not her slave.

It sounds like she doesn't want her life to turn out like the women on here.. She doesn't want you to try talking to other girls online and watching pornography...hmm she seems pretty smart. ha ha jk

you are her agoraphobic partner.
