Marriage and Friends

CM’s thread got me wondering

for ladies who are married, did your husbands ever put restrictions on you when going out with ur friends? or did it just come naturally that u wanted to spend more time with the spouse? when u do end up hanging out with friends…does ur husband make a big fuss?

I have to say, alhumdulillah, my husband is not like that at all. He doesnt put any restritions on me on spending time with friends, as long as home stuff is taken care of first. ive even spent weekends away with em. I have heard that not many men are like this.

holy macroo
I had to break this news.

We are happy when we get some alone time, with out our every move being watched(of course with love).
We call it having fresh air. A hubby will never going to stop a wife from her little trips. Guys do want to spend time with guys, not that they don't love you, they just need fresh air, not that women pollute air in any way.

By the way its recommended that couple spend at least 2 nights hanging out with friends.

Donot know abt him but i will for sure put restrictions on him.I wont let him spend weekends away with friends:)

Ditto

heheheheh, spending weekends awya with friends.....il give him a bloody weekend to remember if he ever suggested such nonsense..however if he wishes to spend a few hours or a night out, thats fine. as long as hes back on time and he picks up my calls every 5 minutes, and keeps me updated on what hes upto via texts, live video call, facebook, blogs, twitter etc im fine.

Re: Marriage and Friends

i havnt put any restrictions on my wife about to hang out with friends or talk to them at all. she can do as she please.

but somehow my socialising with friend ground to halt since i got married!! first i dont get time to be with friends, if i get some and when i am back home, she welcomes with me nasty face :( so initial years i dropped the idea of going out with friends and spent time to make marriage work .. but in this process i lost all my contact with friends and only socialising i do now when i am with my wife visiting them.

the only weekend i was away since my marriage, that was training course from my company in another country!

and next one is goin to be in October as some colleagues going to birthday party in Frankfurt!, let see how it goes with my other half ;) as its 2 day before her birthday! and i hope a present from germany will be enough to cheer her up.

It just sort of happened, there never seemed to be enough time for my friends, due to work, new home life, cooking, cleaning etc. However its not something that happens as much as i would like it to happen, weekend away would be a def no no....

Re: Marriage and Friends

I think girls are more into the "no friends" than guys usually .. at least from what I have seen. I think the reason behind it is, that mostly girls are with their friends during day time and then at home during night time with hubby, so he has nothing to complain about whereas guys' "friends-time" starts during the night and last till the early mornings :p so girls feel neglected therefor "please app apne doston ke saat rozana (beshak weekend mein hi sirf) na jayen!" hehe

Re: Marriage and Friends

best options have commons friends... like we do...

but honestly one does not get the time... i'd rahther spend more time with my hubby n he with me... i occassaionlly do go out but i always make sure tht he knows tht he is my first priority... it comes naturally and even he is the same... so no restrictions i think normal guys wud not... but yes i have heard of cases where they do...

Sara, rephrase it and ask them if they’d be okay with their wives going-out with male aquaintances/friends :halo:

waits for fireworks

exactly…

I don’t like hanging out with friends anymore (don’t have many true friends here anyways, they’re all in Pakistan :(). I would rather stay home and play with my daughter, play a video game :wink: or read a good book.

Surprisingly, my husband stopped going out with his friends after we got married. I literally have to kick him out :smack: He’d rather stay home on weekends, watch a movie and I’m like pleaaaaaaase go, I need some ‘ME’ time :stuck_out_tongue: On most weekends, we usually end up hanging out with couples we like.

P.S. And No, I don’t think my husband would be comfortable with me hanging out with any male acquaintances/friends. Co-workers is another thing, he’s fine with that if its a company event… but otherwise, I’m sure he won’t like it… and I won’t be okay with him hanging out with female friends either… good that he doesn’t have any :D.

i tried to restrict him and we had very very serious problem afterwards :(

Re: Marriage and Friends

So far, its only women trying to restrict men......

no fireworks either..... kya ho gaya hai dunya ko!

Sure why not. The question is: Would she be able to handle it if I did the same, particularly with women who are in the fashion industry that happen to be old friends?

Re: Marriage and Friends

Any friends of the opposite sex become mutual friends and we see them together, other than that we are quite homely, people visit us, too much.

Haha, women from the fashion industry??!! No way.... I don't think a wife can put up with that, only if she also tagged along maybe.

I'm okay with my husband hanging out with male friends..... but with females... Nope. So I'm okay with him not letting me go meet male friends (fortunately I don't have any :p)

Re: Marriage and Friends

My husband doens't like me hanging out with friends...But he knows that I need some time to be alone or with friends...MALE friends...he knows I have some but no he'll never give me permission to hang out with them...

Thanks for an honest answer. This is totally not directed to you but rather towards the "I'm a woman and we are all completely equal lobby." I say bring it on :)

Sara good for you : ):d
