Deauxlie,

This is *exactly* what I needed to hear. I never want her
to feel crushed that I won't allow her space to have this
close group of friends.

Do you think I should just kill any thoughts of bringing
this up to her, and in particular what I mean by "bringing
up" is "Honey, I am totally behind your girl trips and what
they mean to you but I'm a little uncomfortable about the
dancing with men and the other girls hooking up part."

I think from your response the best thing is to deal with
whatever my own underlying insecurities are and not let
on how it makes me anxious. I guess it's all in my head
and I'd be better off keeping it that way?

Please let me know what you think and thanks again for
the very helpful reponse. Happiness is for the brave, you're
right after all.

Best to all.
