Alone. Nearly made a friend

Feel so alone tonight. My partener has gone away for the weekend, my daughter is at a sleepover and im here all alone. Made a friend yesterday and she called me before to see if i wanted to go out next weekend. I never really go out as i dont have any friends. This was my chance to make a friend. Just called my partner to see if he minded me going out and he was really #######5 saying he would have gone out with me but i didnt consider him. I just want a life which i dont have. All i do is work work work to pay the bills as he doesnt work. Now i aint gonna go out cos i feel too guilty to. This is why i have no friends. I cant work out if he is being nice saying he wants to go or if he is trying to stop me having friends? I kinda feel like he is controlling me. Does this make sence to anyone? Is this my fault? I hate inviting anyone round cos its his house not mine and i dont feel that he likes me having people here. But if we ever talk about this he says i can invite people round if i want to, but when i do he makes me feel uncomfortable about it - hard to explain!

I can relate to how your feeling but if you feel that having friends over will make you uncomfortable because of your partner then go somewhere else have fun and try to have someone else in your life other than your partner…

It does sound like controlling behavior. If he feels uncomfortable with a friend of yours at his house, maybe you can go out somewhere instead?

Sometimes you will have to put your needs before other peoples! Especially if you rarely do because of your partner, it's the greatest thing to have a really good friend that you can associate differently to.. try to explain how you feel to your partner. If he loves you he should be kind enough to understand! But it sounds like he is very controlling & might possibly need a reality check!

Go out and make friends, you won't regret it!

Also! there are alot of ways people try to control one another and even if it doesn't seem obvious, it is because it can be very subtle. x
