I think this is a really tough thing to resolve/balance. My H works w the navy so the guys go out a lot. I don't mind at all, as long as I have notice so that I can make plans for my Self that night. H seems to think me needing to know is about permission but it isn't. I will not be caged so I won't cage him but a little bit of courtesy helps grease the wheels. Maybe there are other guys whose wives have them on a short rein and H doesn't want to be viewed as under the thumb, like UF says. Perhaps it makes guys feel like children again? On the other hand, do guys respect the guy who doesn't consider his gf/W?
Sorry for hijacking your thread but this subject is what caused us to end piecing in July
