Quote: Lately, on Friday nites, I have been going over to a friends house to play cards (used to do that before we met), before I go, or plan on going, I ask her if "we have any plans" or "if there is anything she wants to do" that nite, the usual asnswer is no so I ask if it is ok if I go. The usual answer is sure but I almost wonder if there really is something she wants to do togeather. I dont know, I guess all I can do is continue to ask.
There may be a reason so I'm asking - why would you "ask her if "we have any plans" or "if there is anything she wants to do" - instead of taking the time to plan for a dinner out, a movie, a local play or concert, a picnic, a visit to a local attraction, etc?
And then let her know that you've made arrangements/plans (including childcare, if needed) for this weekend for the two of you to do whatever. Have you done this before and got turned down, or are you automatically defaulting to your wife to make plans for the two of you?
