I wonder how do i bring it up? going out i mean. Do i not say anything and just do it but that would make me an a$$hole. I guess i can just say im going out with friends. Sorry if this sounds weird but for years i have always been at work, my gym or home. I dont actually go out and if i did previously it was usually for interviews and meetings etc. so this is actually new for me.
No, you don't bring it up. You get ready, walk to the door and say, "I'm going out". If she starts asking where, who with, what time will you be back, etc.........your answer is, "Not sure, bye".
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
