It’s hard for me and my buddies to feel like losers or people who are “much too old to be at the club.”
I’m married, and in my mid-40s. My wife and I have a robust social life, for which we both feel very lucky and blessed. We have amazing friends who are a wonderful support system and with whom we go out regularly.
We’ve talked about it among the guys and agree this is a tough situation. We’ve had conversations with our wives about feeling uncomfortable, and we all got similar responses, like “Well, then don’t come.” The one or two times I’ve sat out, my wife was cool toward me for several days afterward. P.S. Your wife should not punish you for feeling awkward about going to those clubs. She should instead be trying to help you.Dear Abby: My husband has alone time with neighbor, and I don’t trust either of themI had an unpleasant experience when I joined a friend and a friend of hers at a restaurant for dinner recently. I arrived at the agreed-upon time, actually early, and expected to find them waiting in the lobby for me.
