Masons

[orangeblosssom]

Does anyone else find their husbands spending several evenings doing Masonic events at the expense of couple time? Our couple time is severely reduced anyway because of my husbands's heavy workload.

Well it doesn't really matter what activity / hobby he chooses to do in the evenings.

Do you want to / get to do some activities in the evenings, OP, or does he have the monopoly on that time?

Have you spoken to him and asked if he can cut back?

I can remember huge rows between my parents about dad and the masons. They had never in their whole marriage had secrets and my mum hated that he went off somewhere and couldn't tell her everything about it. They worked it out though...20 years on he still goes and really enjoys it. He works by himself and its his chance to have male company and banter. They do do a lot of work for charity. We do wind him up though by referring to h going to the lodge as "dads at Boy Scouts :)! Haha.
The poster who referred to jimmy Saville is way off mark. If people did indeed cover for him it was because they were scum, not because they were masons. I appreciate the 'old boys network' comments and inderstand why people think that but really, to bring Saville into it is wide of the mark.

Anyway...not helpful to op...sorry...

Do u get to have time out for hobbies?
