In fact, I find that most times I have to attend any
social function, I count the minutes until I can leave the party. I can usually fake it
for about 2 hours. But then, it's like I hit a wall and the desire and need to leave increase greatly with each minute. In fact, the minutes start to feel like hours. Inside I feel myself getting angry, edgy, and moody. At the same time, my wife has usually had a couple of drinks by then and is wound up and having a good time.
