Is it me?

My husband & I have been together since teens. He hasn’t been perfect over the yrs but we love each other & share 2 kids.
My problem in a nutshell is his mates & the pub are more important than us. He nips for one & often is gone hours or on occasion doesn’t come back at all (always with an excuse as to why/what happened) or (I knew you were in a mood so I thought what’s the point!) he sees no harm in it whatsoever, he’s got a stressful job and he’s a very sociable person but I don’t particularly relish getting pissed up night after night. I think there’s more to life
Over the yrs my friends have slowly disappeared as he makes me going out a problem and I’m pretty lonely and isolated.
He’s the life & sole of the party and literally everyone thinks he’s mr fantastic so I’m wondering, is it me? Am I unreasonable am I just miserable? I’ve told home how I feel time and time again but nothing ever changes, he just accused me of not loving him and says he can’t cope with my behaviour anymore. Don’t get me wrong him going out with friends is healthy but I can’t help feeling he is taking the piss. I’d be really grateful for any advice.

My friends eventually stopped asking me out as it was just easier to make an excuse rather then go and face the grief/snarky remarks/sulking when I get home.

Wtf?! What is his justification for the fact that he's allowed to go out multiple nights a week and sometimes not even bother to come home, but you're not allowed to go out without getting a load of abuse for it?!

Tbh OP I can't believe you're even asking if you're being unreasonable. He is controlling amd horrible. And no, no man is a good father if he treats the mother of his children this way. What a nasty man.
