Dear Queenie,
Recently my wife and I had a date to go out to dinner with a couple we know, but it turned out the husband had to work that night so the two wives decided to go out by themselves and left me home.
I don’t mind my wife going out with her friends, but this plan was for both of us and I felt left out.
Queenie, shouldn’t they have taken me along, or rescheduled for a night when the other husband was free to go too?—Home alone
Dear Home alone,
Would you really have wanted to go along on a “girls’ night out”? Would you have taken your wife along if it had been the other wife who was not free to go?
Surely it is possible to plan another couples’ night out when the other husband also will be free to go.
