My husband and I have a wonderful marriage....When Anthony(his best friend) isn't around. My husband and I have only been married for 2 years and we are still very happy and in love. We have a beautiful 1 1/2 year old little girl and we've been together for 5 years. We are both still young, we're both only 22 years old, just to give you alittle information about us.

He's been friends with Anthony longer than he's known me and I don't expect him to stop being friends with him b/c I love him like he was a brother BUT he is always at our house. Normally 5 days a week & half of the time he stays the night and of course his girlfriend Brittany is always with him so she's there too.
I've talked to my husband and they'll stay away(while I'm home) for about a week, then it starts all over again. My husband normally gets home from work about 3pm and I don't get home from work until almost 6:30 which gives him 3 hours to do whatever he wants to do. I hate having to work all day, come home & not be able to relax.
It's getting to the point where we fight about about it all the time, he doesn't realize he's over so much. I don't know what to do, I've tried talking to him but it doesn't do any good. I've talked to Brittany & she agrees with me & they have a baby together also BUT they both live with their parents and her mom mainly takes care of the baby. They are both very irrisposible. I wouldn't mind if they came over once or twice a week, but everyday is too much. Please help, should I give him an altmatum? I'm so confused. I just don't understand how he can want someone over all the time. Id this normal?? It hasn't always been like this, Just w/in the past 6 months or so. Everything is wonderful when he's not there.

I can understand why this is so troublesome for you and I bet, over all, it's troublesome for your hubby too, even if he can't seem to keep his friends out of your house. You deserve down time alone with hubby and without his friends being at your home all the time so you need to get involved too, as a united front.

Talk to hubby first about wanting to spend more alone time with him and about other activities you can do together outside of the house, etc. that don't include the friends, and talk to hubby about having a sit down talk with them when all 4 of you are together. Let them know firmly but kindly that you and hubby have decided to spend more alone time togeter and do more things outside the house, or whatever, and tell them you need them to CALL before coming over to make sure your free to visit with them.

This isn't an outragious idea, it's the way it should be, especially with friends who have no respect for your time and home. But don't say that to them, LOL. Make the point very clear to them that from now on they need to call first. If hubby can't seem to do the talking, then it's up to you to tell them when your all together. They may bulk but that's their problem, really!

This is just my opinion and how I'd deal with this. Keep us posted on how it goes.
