As for going out to a bar with your buddies to drink on a regular basis... I can understand why a wife might not be too happy about it... I certainly wouldn't be happy if my wife did that to me.
However, one thing that has always bugged me about one wife in particular is a former buddy's wife. Before he got married we would regularly play golf together. After he got married, this stopped completely. I would ask and ask and finally he told me that his wife would get upset if he took off for 5 hours on a Saturday or Sunday to play golf as Saturday and Sundays were family time.
Also, any other get-togethers always had to include his wife. It was always the three of us (I was single at the time). I didn't particularly like his wife that much so I just stopped calling him. End of friendship.
