So why do you think he doesn't want to take me anywhere?He said ,"you knew I didn't like going anywhere when we got married,"I do things that I don't like for him.

he is a stay at home person you are not. So go out with out him but continue to invite him along..hes probably just one of those men who doesnt like to go out..but what you can do is go out on your own and make sure you plan to go out with him once or twice a month on a date..explain to him it would mean so much to you with out fighting and arrange everything for him at first and make sure you have a very pleaseant time going out. He should be able to give you that much.

Yep, you married a couch potato. Sorry. Best thing you can do is go out by yourself or get some friends and go out. You don't have to live your life on the couch with him. I married a couch potato, but in the end, I divorced him because we were too different. Married a new guy and we had sooooo many things in common, but not everything and things are great. It all depends if you'll tolerate going everywhere by yourself of not. Good luck.

Men can be idiots. My husband is like this, only we go where HE likes to go, or our 6 year old likes to go. After so many monster truck races, ATV races, stupid movies, kids movies, and sitting in some campground with his stupid friends all getting drunk, I had to make an important decision, or be bored stupid for the rest of my life.
I go places BY MYSELF!!!! I go to the Art Musuems, plays, concerts, lectures, the beach by myself, or take my kids.
When I make plans to go somewhere, I usually go and get my hair done, buy a new outfit, including lingerie and heels, really get dolled up and let him know where I am going as an after thought about five minutes before I am getting ready to walk out the door. I make sure to set a box of Mac & Cheese or Hamburger Helper on the counter and give him the name of the restaurant or cafe that I will be going to, while he is staying home with his beer, kids and the dog.
MOST of the time, not always, he gives me a couple of looks and asks if he can go with me while he is dialing up his mom or mine to watch the kids and the dog.
Good luck, I know how frustrated you are.

You need to sit and have a good chat with your husband. Explain your feelings and why you want to be able to go out places with him. Explain how this is making you feel and that it is getting you down. If he is still not prepared to take you out, then I suggest having a few nights out with your friends. Go out, have a great time and let him see that you can really enjoy yourself. If after a while this doesn't shock him into wanting to take you out, then you need to have a long hard think about your priorities. If they are to stay with him, then you will have to accept that he is not going to change his ways - can you live like this for the rest of your days? Or if not, you need to think about breaking up with your husband and starting over. Go have fun, live life to the full. In time you will meet someone else who will be proud to take you out. Good luck x

He must have liked going somewhere or how else did you meet?
Ask him to do it for you, just ask him to go out one night to the cinema or something, find a film or something he would really enjoy and take it from there. Good luck, you never know he may surprise you!

Well if you knew he didn't like it when you got married, why are you so surprised now?
Maybe he's just shy socially. I am. I prefer to stay home with my wife. It has nothing to do with her.
However if my wife really wants to I will go.

What you have to do is start going out with your mates one night a week, and stop doing things for him that you don't like. See what happens.

He's got a point. If you knew who he was when you married him, then you asked for it.
