Did I twist my husband's arm???

He is a grown man, he would not have married you if he did not want to. Sound like you might need to grow up a little bit and accept your responsibility of being a wife and mother. Men are not near emotional as us women. Usually what you see is what you get. Maybe he went outside because he does not want to fight with you. Go outside with him and have a good time. Think about it would you want to be around someone who is nagging and complaining?
