Meeting newlyweds on their honeymoon

[exPatinthesun]

DH and I are ex pats and live in a sunny country. We often have people out to visit and stay with us and are generally quite a sociable couple. One of his friends has just got married two weeks ago and they are in this country on their honeymoon, DH arranged to meet them and took them for a fancy dinner the other night and then he met up with them the day after and now he was texting his friend trying to arrange to meet them again today. They go home the day after tomorrow and I think DH should leave them alone as they are on their honeymoon. If I was the wife I would be sick of friends pestering us on honeymoon! Should I tell DH to leave it or just let him get on with it?

I think you're right and your DH should back off. Just because her DH isn't thinking about his priorities concerning his new bride, that's no reason for your DH to take advantage of the situation.

Tell him to give over, ffs, and let the DH of the newly weds contact HIM if he wants to.

Tell your DH to leave them be ! They have his number if the want to make plans with him.

I would hate it if I was the honeymooning wife - it would really spoil things - and I'd definitely be asking my Hubble to leave them alone.

Depends onthe stage too. If they've been living together for 2 years it's not quite the same as a honeymoon where you have a last got the chance of privacy and time for sex and in that initial phase.

Wouldn't be my idea of a great honeymoon. The nicest thing about ours was it being just us and focusing on just us.

Regardless of whether they already live together etc, it's not just a honeymoon, it's a chance to have a break from work, children (if applicable) and to forget about the usual mundane tasks of everyday life.

Her DH needs to realise that it's not just his honeymoon, it's hers too. Both DHs need to realise that this isn't a boys club jolly, it's a chance for the newly married couple to spend quality time together.

DH and I enjoyed any social excuse, but we were away for 3+ months so had more than enough of our own company. It was a good test of marriage though

We're not conventional though!

If she looks uncomfortable, then it's not fair to put them in a position of split opinions, especially right at the end.
