What do you think?

My DH has gone out with a (girl)friend of mine tonight, not a really close friend, known each other for a couple of years, to play golf.

It's hard to get babysitters so we often go out separately. However, our relationship is at a bit of a low and I can't help feeling that he shouldn't be going out by himself with another female. My friend's relationship is very strained - pressures of young children and no time to themselves. We are all quite supportive of each other but I feel uncomfortable about this.

Am I just being a jealous wife and horrible friend or do you think I should nip this in the bud?

not sure.....need more info

has he been out with her before?

couldnt she have babysat and let you and DH go out together?

No, this is the first time. He sometimes sees her in the day with the kids.

So she is more his friend than yours?

Just because she's female doesn't necessarily mean there's something dodgy going on.

Can't you ask your friend to babysit so you and hubby can go out together?

I can't play golf at the moment due to a back problem.

Tb - call me an old cynic, but I know what happened when I trusted my dp and friend. I had a feeling in my bones too, but ignored it until it was too late. (Will probably get flamed).

Moviegirl - good point.

Second what moviegirl said, why can't she babysit for you and then you return the favour,
I wouldn't be happy with my dh spending quality time with another woman if he didn't have any time to spend with me iyswim

No, she is more my friend but they get on well too.

We do babysit for each other but only in the day really.

I didn't know golf clubs were open in the evening.

You feel crap about it so talk to him.

I think that's a bit weird TBH... I have a really good friend and we take turns to babysit (no reliable childcare nearby for both families). I wouldn't dream of going somewhere with her DH UNLESS there is a very good reason (for example, he is planning a surprise birthday party for her at the moment and if he needs my help in doing something specific). And nothing to do with trust, she is more my friend. She babysits for me so DH and I can go out. Vice versa. And sometimes both DHs stay home so she and I can go out.

Fab - The golf course near us is offering twilight golf so I am guessing some golf clubs do stay open in the evening!
