I would love to go with my wife to the clubs because I do like to go out too. But she feels like she needs to do "her own thing" and I can appreciate that since I really don't want us to be joined at the hip. But I only wish she would limit her time with her friends or by herself to activities that don't involve dancing and drinking with men. Why can't she just go out with the girls for dinner and drinks, or a movie, or a day shopping? Why does she have to be "single" on her nights out away from me and the kids? Part of me says "well, if she can go out dancing with other men, I'll just call up my lady friends and spend time with them too!" But I don't because I know where that will lead. I try to be open minded, and think that she isn't doing anything more than just having fun, but I'm afraid she will meet someone else and we'll be back where we were just a couple of months ago?
Michelle, any ideas on how I should handle this? I don't want to lose all of the progress we've made so far but I don't want to be a doormat either.
