He’s Upset Because His Wife Keeps Hanging Out With A Single Guy While He’s At Work And Not Telling Him Beforehand
This 32-year-old guy is currently married to his wife Susan, who is 30. Right now, Susan works part-time, and she is also the primary caregiver to their two sons– who are just 2 and 3-years-old.
So, on Wednesdays, his in-laws have begun watching the boys for his wife. That way, Susan can get some alone time and a day to herself.
Now, he also works and sometimes tries to take off on Wednesdays so he can spend quality time with his wife.
“But naturally, I can’t take every week off,” he said.
So, on three occasions when he was not able to take off work, his wife decided to meet up with one of their single male friends– a guy named Josh, who is 32.
His wife and Josh went out for coffee and hikes together, and honestly, he wasn’t thrilled about it.
In fact, they got into an argument because he and Susan had planned to go hiking at one specific spot together. Yet, his wife didn’t wait for him and went with Josh instead.
On another occasion, he also suggested that he and his wife make some plans on a random Wednesday, but his wife admitted to having already made plans with Josh that day. She also claimed that she just forgot to put the hangout in their shared calendar.
“I was upset and asked her to let me know when she’s catching up with him in advance,” he recalled.

His wife really didn’t understand his perspective, though, and just thought he was acting overbearing and invasive.
So, more recently, his wife and Josh actually had a last-minute hangout while he was still at work. And Susan only filled him in after Josh had already left their house.
This understandably made him extremely upset and frustrated again.
“And I said that purposefully excluding me is suspicious and hurtful,” he vented.
However, his wife has accused him of “interfering” with her male friendships. She also claimed that his accusations were hurtful to her.
So now, he’s wondering whether suggesting that his wife was in the wrong for meeting up with a guy friend and not telling him really wasn’t justified.
Is his wife allowed to be friends with anyone, regardless of their gender? At the same time, should she have been more respectful of his boundaries by letting him know when she was seeing Josh? How would you feel if you were in his shoes? Was he in the wrong for getting upset or not?
