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.
@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.
