Among Friends

[arizona babe]

be glad you didn't go as reunions are all boring, not many people stay that close to high school friends- but your whole story to me raises a big red flag that your relationship might be in trouble and he used the reunion as an excuse for something else- remember he is a man and they are basically stupid, just pay attention to your relationship and protect yourself, it will all be known eventually if there is an issue- but seriously i doubt you missed anything

I think you are over-reacting.  I know a lot of peope who go to HS reunions without spouses or significant others.  If you didn't go to school with these people, it is a real snooze fest.  Don't worry about it - he saved you a night of meeting people over and over that you won't remember their names, or care that they stole the rival's mascot.

Sorry about this but, I am a very suspicious person & because your husband has been married 3 times already (at age 58) he doesn’t seem to stay in a marriage for the long run .. maybe he is getting the “10 year itch” & is looking for wife #4..... you need to sit down together & talk & get to the bottom of this.... I hope it all works out for the best 😊

He probably thought you'd be bored to tears.  These people were in high school when you were a toddler.

IMO you are over-reacting.

Sure, you should be hurt. He knew you wanted to go and should have taken you. The age difference shouldn't factor in - I'm sure others in his class married someone older or younger and still brought them along.

Ummm, okay.  There are some questions that have been asked (rightfully so) that I really don't wish to answer.  I hope all of you can understand that.  It seems that the majority of you think I am overreacting and I probably am.  

(The rest I decided to delete ~ no need to divulge, TMI).  ;-)

@January121 ~ Where did you read that he has been married 3 times?  I'm not being snarky but I never wrote that.  I think another poster shared a story mentioning something like that.

This is a first marriage for us both.  Sorry for the confusion.

Be glad you didn't go.  Those things are deadly boring if you aren't a member of the class - and sometimes if you are a member!

There is probably a very innocent reason for his actions and I feel like he must love you with all of his heart.  I don't want to depress you but something in your story reminded me of my failed marriage.  My husband started to work later and later (so he said). Every now and then when I would offer to go to an event with him, he would tell me I probably wouldn't enjoy it.  He would go alone.  There was one basketball game that he insisted I shouldn't go to but I went to anyway.  It was just a group of friends playing at an old elementary school.  Shortly after I got there, a girl (my former friend) and her baby rode up on a bicycle.  She acted like she was cheering for the whole team since there were others from work (she worked at the same office). She and my husband exchanged hugs and looks throughout the event that were far from normal.  Turns out those two had been having an affair for over a year.  We divorced shortly after that.

Keep your chin up.  I don't think there are many husbands out there as bad as mine so I feel like your husband just thought he was saving you from a boring evening.

@January121   Wrong person.  You might want to read back a bit slower.
