HUSBAND DOESN'T LIKE ME WEARING G STRINGS
Been together 12 years (since I was 17), married with 3 young kids. When I was younger, I never wore g-strings and thought they were uncomfortable. Fast forward to my late 20s, and in the past year I've started wearing them to the gym for comfort and more of a seamless style. My husband does not like this. He thinks I'm disrespecting his boundaries and that I'm not being a good wife because I'm 'parading' myself by wearing that kind of underwear with shorts/leggings running or to gym, while he is working hard to provide for our family. I think the request to control the type of underwear I wear is over the top, and it was a decision I made for my own comfort and not to parade to others. I don't want to disrespect him or his boundaries though. What should I do?

SHOULD I BE OFFENDED THAT I WASN’T ASKED TO GO TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY?
My partner works in a professional job and is employed by the government. I’ve met only a few of his colleagues. For their work Christmas party, they were just going out for dinner to a restaurant that is about an hour away from where we actually live (it’s 20 minutes from their workplace). He initially said that he wasn’t sure if he was going to go but his colleague had said that he should. I asked if partners were also invited and his response was ‘yes’.
I was a bit taken back because he did not ask me if I wanted to go. When I mentioned this he responded “well you wouldn’t want to go to that surely?” It’s true; it’s not my idea of a good time but I’m feeling upset that I wasn’t actually asked. Is it normal to not ask your partner to go to a Christmas party when there is the option for partners to be included?

HUSBAND ISN'T HELPING WITH HOSTING CHRISTMAS FUNCTION

Each year, my cousin, her husband and my husband do Christmas dinner. We plan it in January as December is hectic and we plant it a year out. This year my husband and I are hosting. The problem is that my husband has just been invited to a work mate’s bucks party and it falls on the same day as our Christmas tradition night. He has said yes to going to the bucks for bottomless lunch, but here I am having to clean, prepare the food, decorate and get everything sorted all on my own. On top of this, the day before is my husband’s work Christmas function. So I’m fully on my own riding this beast. I’m annoyed that I’ve been lumped with all of the responsibilities. What can I actually do about this? Do I just ‘suck it up’ and try to not allow the dates for next time to clash so much or do I cancel our Christmas dinner?
