Is it normal to be concerned...

7 Comments

Long story short... My husbands brother is coming home after training for a job. He is flying in and expects us to meet him at the airport with his new wife who will ride with us I guess. I told my husband that he may have to go pick him up without me and the three of them go eat. The even bigger problem (in my eyes) is that his brother just informed him that two of his brothers single "girl" friends will be going out along with his wife. I'm just curious to see what everyone's take is on this situation. My biggest concern is not trust issues but how my husband looks in the eyes of other people. Recently married, going out drinking with his brother and with other single girls. I value peoples opinions of us too much. Is this normal?

    I understand where you are coming from, I don't think he should go anywhere without you, even going drinking with single women and it doesn't matter if his family is there or not. so what your feeling is 100% normal.

    Im not really sure what you are asking is normal.

    For me its not normall for you not to go to this dinner and its normall for him to go with anyone he wants to especially with family. So I voted its normal for him to go.

    If you worry about this why dont you go with them?

    I'm really sorry to burst your bubble but to be absolutely frank people are so busy living their own lives they wouldn't care if your husband was shagging all three women over the dinner table! Neither you nor he are that important :o(

    Please get a grip of yourself!
    You say you trust him but you worry about the neighbours noticing he's having lunch with some guests.

    OMG my husband drops me off to go drinking and dancing with 6-8 fellas that he doesn't even know every weekend. They're my pals not his! I leave him down to the yacht club to sail with a crew of women for weeks at a time.

    I trust him and guess what? Not one of my neighbours / friends has ever commented to either me or him. Guess why? They don't care!

    Maybe it would be a big deal if you lived in a small town...

    But usually it's a man's conduct that determines how people view him, not that he wears a wedding band while socializing in mixed company - which is normal (in Canada, at least).
