I've come to the point that sharing time with friends is unbearable in couple gatherings. My husband is not interested in me or "our" friends. He doesn't participate in conversations unless he is the center of the subject. He sits and sulks while others see him as a "victim," which he loves.

He only goes out to seek attention and to eat. He contributes nothing. Actually, he is this way at home, ignores me at all cost, only talks when it's time to eat. He is a narcissist and refuses to take medication for his depression and anxiety; doesn't believe in therapy or marriage counseling. We have been married 16 years; he is 80, I am 64. I feel abused, I get help, but the weekends are horrible.

Please say I'm not alone tonight.....
