Are you stuck up your DH/SO's a**??

Ok, so my SO and I live together and spend plenty of time together outside of work. While he is at work I think it would be nice to have girl friends to have play dates with or go shopping with.

That seems completely impossible because every girl I meet has to have their SO involved in everything!! Why?!

I met an awesome chick who had a lot in common with me but she wont hang out unless her bf comes too. Everytime I ask her to do something she says "so&so doesn't want to do that..so&so works today...blah blah blah"

My SO and i completely trust each other, he is totally fine with me hanging out with girl friends without him (and would rather lol)

Then I asked her if we all could do something and she says "so&so doesn't feel like meeting new people today" But she texts me everyday like she really wants to be friends! Makes no sense.

Why can't I find responsible girl friends who want to do things once in a while? Without their SO's?!!

LOL. Tell them? Tell them it's a girls night/day out or something? Good luck.

Why don't you just politely ask her why she can't just come on her own? I would just kinda laugh and jokingly say that her SO doesn't always have to come with and that she should just come herself sometimes.

No we're super independent. I love spending time with him, but spending time by ourselves is important to us too.

I did but she kind of avoided the question..so weird. Either one of them is clingy or there are control issue..

I have a friend like that and it annoys me to no end! She has no other friends in this area and refuses to make them. It's like she expects her husband to satisfy all her social needs. I find it strange.

My dh tried to be up my ass when we first got together. I would say "I am going to the coffee shop with Deb" and he would say "Great, let's go"

It got to be a problem. Even if I went by myself he would call every 20 minutes wondering when I would be home.

I finally had to sit him down and explain to him that we were not conjoined twins and I had a circle of girlfriends that I enjoyed "girl time" with and he was going to have to accept that.

Finally it has gotten to the point where I can go to lunch or shopping with a friend and not have to worry abt him getting upset

I may not be a perfect wife or mother but I am perfect in the eyes of my son and my husband and that is all that matters.

What's the reason? I'm honestly just curious.
