In landed an invitation today for an old friends wedding, I opened it up and there was my Mrs all excitied and looking forward to it, there was me with a cross face saying i'm not going, and so the arguments start 
I hate weddings, I have social anxiety and if you don't have this its hard to explain what its like, There is not 1 second of enjoyment at a wedding, you litterally count down the time until you can go home.
My Mrs through the guilt trip at me "You never go to anything I want to go to, you are so selfish" she is smart, she throws that guilt trip at me and then I end up going because she makes me feel like I am the one in the wrong, I think she is selfish for not considering my feelings.
She forced me to go to a wedding last summer, I lasted 30 mins and had to walk out and leave, I thought I was going to go mad, I was feeling really bad and all I got was abuse from her.
I just don't know what to do, she is a strong woman and from the "Pull yourself together" school of though, she does not even recognise anxiety and thinks I'm a bit funny for reading Lucinda amongest others books.
HELP!! I just don't know what to do to do right. I do hate weddings but do I hate them just cause I'm anxious or do I really hate them? I think I really hate them.
