My husband is a good person. He is a wonderful dad. I get frustrated with him because I often want to help out with things and he gets upset.
The school in which I work have lots of children with horrible situations. I hide what I do for the kids from my husband. I shouldnt have to.
It makes me so angry. He is not jealous of other men. He just doesnt like sharing my time with other people.

He doesn't like for you to help people out with your time/energy?
Have you ever sat him down and talked to him face to face and shared what it means to you to be able to do this for other's? Maybe he doesn't realize how important it is for you.
It sounds like you are doing a great thing. I applaud you. More people should sacrificially invest into the lives' of other's. That's part of what we are all here for!

What does he want you to spend your time?

Would it work if the two of you did this stuff together? If you approached him with "We could volunteer" "I would like us to do blah together". "Honey, you are so good at blah, and the ABC needs people who can do that - let's go together."
Possible?

Couldn't resist responding. My husband is very jealous of any of my time that is not spent with him. He's a great guy and everything but he just doesn't get that I LIKE to help other people. He always sees it as me being put upon. Big problem in our marriage.
Good luck,
antigua
