I’m having a bad evening

I went online and joined a meetup for middle aged people - both singles and couples.

I told my husband about it and asked if he’s interested. He’s not. I said if he didn’t mind I could go on my own.
He started screaming and throwing spatulas. Then broke them in half.

I spoke very calmly and got him to calm down. He thought I wanted to meet men. I don’t. I want to make girlfriends. That’s why I invited him to come with me - we could meet other couples.

In the end he said he’ll think about trying it out. Now I’m not sure I want to because I don’t want him that upset.

He’s had 2 wives before me and both cheated on him.

If he’s willing to meet other couples or friends with you I don’t think that’s a bad idea. I enjoy talking to my friends. If I didn’t have them I would only talk to family and I don’t do that everyday.

me and my first wife reached out to make friends online platonically and everyone that answered said they eventually were interested just in sex.

I’ve had good experiences with Meetup and I hope you will too.

I have gone to a few of these with my wife. I don’t enjoy them, but she made some new contacts and was happy after.

@jukebox , this thing I’m talking about is different. I’m almost positive it’s not a sex hookup. They do activities together like dinners, bowling, movies, entertainment etc.

@HollyHobby , thanks. I’m glad you had a good experience

@shutterbug , that is very selfless and kind of you to go with her

@Lefty , I don’t know if I’m completely stable but I’d like to make a new friend or 2.
