To wish my friend would sometimes leave her dh at home?

[pink4ever]

Have a group of girlfriends whom I have known for a couple of years. We try and get a few nights out-not often as we all have dcs-maybe 3 or 4 times a year(not including kids partys,coffees,school stuff etc).
One of my friends always brings her husband on our nights out. Now dont get me wrong I really like her dh-nice guy,good company etc but sometimes I would like it to be just the girls.
Have tried dropping hints but am I bu? Dont know if its partly on my part as my dh would rather boil his own testicles than go on a girls night!

They must have easy access to babysitters then. We nearly always go out separately due to the hassle!!! My husband would not want to join in on a girly night out and vice versa! Very strange indeed!

Very odd IMO

Have you asked her why?

They have gp's who live very near and love babysitting. As I say I have dropped hints but dont want to come right out and say no he cant come as think she would stop coming too and she is really a nice lady.
They are both lovely, I just struggle to understand the whole joined at the hip thing as that is so not the relationship dh and I have!
I have tried inviting them to other things as a couple-will meet them for coffee fairly often,go for lunch etc or meet up with kids to go to park/pics but do still find it a bit odd that he doesnt mind being the only male with a bunch of women!
Will suck it up as like them and dont want to lose my mate. Thanks for telling me I am not bu though!

Maybe aim for having some of your nights out as women-only? How do the others in the group feel about it?

Do you really think she would not ever come if he didn't come too?

weird. she mustn't be 'allowed' out IMO.

If she is a mate, why can't you just ask her? No need to 'suck it up' imho. Girly night is girls no boys. Not rocket science.

Next time you arrange to go out, send a light chatty email or text saying ''dads' night in!''
