Question Posted Monday February 1 2010, 8:11 am

I do let her "do her thing" with her friend. The problem is that she makes plans as a couple with her friend (and the husband). I always have a miserable time -- although I pretend to have a good time -- and then my wife and I always end up fighting, because she is having such a good time, and she knows I'm not, or I'll say something about her friend. Worse yet, her friend invites us to their beach house for a weekend in the summer and that is torture for me.

Before she has a chance to make plans for you again, talk to her. Tell her that as she knows, you do not enjoy the company of her friend & her husband. Then, you need to tell her NOT to make ANY plans with the couple that involve you going along. Tell her you will not be going along again. Ever. If she wants to go on her own, wonderful. But you will not be going. The end.

I suppose she could get angry and end up fighting you. BUT, that happens whenever you go out with them anyway. One more argument & you're done. Don't back down and go anyway.

Don't say anything bad about her friend, just say that while you know she enjoys her company, you don't.
