    Engaged and already nagging, no wonder he wants to go out with his friends.

    You should encourage him. That'll mind trip him
    wow so now wanting to spend time with your man is now considered nagging?!

    It can seem that way, yes
    well thats bull****

    Physically speaking its pretty easy to say all men are the same... We come with the same parts...

    But in this case... No, not all men are the same. Sounds like he's not ready to grow up and be a man or a father. You could wait for him to come around but that may never happen.

    Sit down have a solid talk with him, tell him exactly how you feel...

    After its all in the open, he will either step up, or you will have the freedom to do whats best for you and the kids.

    Every night is not acceptable, a couple times a week isn't the end of the world.

    Clearly it's about balance. He's only home on weekends... he has lots of relationships to maintain and while I'm sure you are important to him his friends are too.

    Perhaps he shouldn't be trying to do it all every weekend... prehaps he is spreading himself too thin. Try to negotiate with him. See if he will agree to 'family only' weekends reserved for you and the kids. But then allow him to have weekends where he is free to see his friends.

    So when he does decide to stay home with the you and the family, how is it? Is it enjoyable or a complete pain in the butt for him?

    You have the right to feel the way you do. I agree that you should talk to him. You both need time to do what you enjoy without always depending on the other person. If he goes out with friends one night, he should be will to take care of the kids and let you get out of the house with girlfriends. Perhaps you want to go out during the afternoon and he could watch the football/sports while you are out with friends.

    Don't think that you can change him once you are married. He is probably tuning you out when you are explaining your feelings. So pick a quiet time to sit down and discuss it. I can feel your frustration in your post.

    Good luck.
