Is it acceptable for your wife to spend the night at the home of a married friend who lives an hour away after going shopping and seeing a movie?

Answer 1

I dont think its right. Shes not a teenager and shes married. She has an obligation to be at home for the night. I would not accept this. Its spoiled to behave this way. It is if you trust her? I like to go out w/my girlfriends for dinner and then go and watch a movie at their house and have a slumber party. I have children and it is nice to get out and away from the house w/o spending a lot of money. I don't do a thing that would make it unacceptable. Go buy her some nail polish, popcorn, soda and give it to her and tell her to have a great time you'll look forward to seeing her in the morning. :) If she is married then she is an adult. Adults should decide what they want to do and accept the responsibiity of that decision, rather than allowing someone else (even a spouse) to decide for them. Personally, I would never even consider asking my spouse if he found it acceptable for me to spend the night at a friend's, take a trip (business or otherwise) and so forth. You didn't mention if this married friend was a male. If so, it could be a problem. If this is just a married girlfriend then there is nothing at all wrong if your wife so decides to spend an over-nighter with her as long as she has contacted you and told you so you won't worry about her. It appears there is a trust issue going on either on your part or you have good reason to have a trust issue. If in doubt call her at her friend's house with some excuse.
