While we are on the subject of spouses, here's a phrase I hate more than anything:
"My wife/husband won't let me...."
How can you let another person run your life? I would never dream of telling Rob what to do. Not that he would listen, ha ha. I can't stand men who have to sneak around over trivial shit. I work with a guy who never goes out with all of us because his wife won't let him. I told him to grow some balls and TELL her what he are going to do. I don't ask Rob permission for shit. I TELL him what i'm going to do.
There have been a few marked ocassions where he has said, "That place is really dangerous at night and I wish you would go." Then he'll say, "I'm not telling you what to do." If I do go, he doesn't get mad or pout, etc. If i'm going out after work I'll tell him out of courtesy so he doesn't worry but I don't ask. (Not that I go to dangerous places at night but i'm just using that as an example.)
The jealously thing pisses me off too. Almost all of my friends throughout my life have been guys and I can't tell you how many i've lost because they got married and their wives would throw a fit over our friendship. If you can't trust him, why'd you marry him? I don't screw my friends so I know I am a trustworthy person. I trust my boyfriend and he has a few female friends. I don't know a few of them so they could try and put the moves on him but I trust Rob. He wouldn't go out with them if he thought they would try something. To me, if you try to run someone's life and hold them down then that is when they want to cheat. I know guys who can't go out with a group if there will be women there. That's crazy.
Sorry for the long rant but given the subject of the thread I felt like putting my 2 cents in.
