Dear Penthouse Forum:

I never thought I would be writing to you, or that this could happen to me. It all started when my wife went out for the night . . .

By why does a wife have to get upset if you want to spend two nights a week with your buddies? Seems like a reasonable request. Especially without kids.

Melvin (Jack Nicholson) said it best in As Good As It Gets

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?
Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

Guinness sponsored study, I'm sure it's been peer reviewed. I will believe it regardless.

I get 5 weeks more vacation than my wife does. This year I'll have gone on a boys mountain biking trip, one to the US to watch soccer and baseball, and a Flames trip to the NE USA this winter (where German poster josef is meeting us!).

I feel a little guilty, because I ditch her a lot, and I spend tons of our money doing it... but she never complains, so I'm not going to ask questions. I know kids will ruin my life soon enough.

Oh and did I mention he had enough money to go to Europe for 3 wks, but still can't pay rent to his parents.

I have a sister in law just like that. Maybe we should hook them up?

For some reason I thought you were posting a Personals Want Ad..

I read your subject title as : Men needed, to meet up with friends twice a week, to stay healthy

[Muta]

If you can establish going out with your buddies at least twice a week, and have a girl that's okay with that, you've won.

They sound like they would be great together.

No ####, at least my wife can see that was well.

I no longer even talk to the guy.

Ugh you guys make being married sound miserable.

Couldn't you claim that sports with your buddies keeps you in shape and healthy?

[Ozy_Flame]

I will have to agree with this. Wives who won't let you out of the house more than twice a week sound more like prison guards.

Can't one of those nights be a co-ed sports team or something? You can involve your wife and still do it with your buddies.

my brother-in-law is lazy, but at least he had the courtesy to leave at age 30

Though after 8 years of being gone, he still hasn't filled out a change of address for his bank, etc. He still gets his mail once a week from his parents.

I've been married for 10 years, together for 15. Your partner will be fine with you going out once or twice a week if they're worth staying with.

I think the general premise of this statement is correct, with one exception, I don't think it is limited to men.

In my marriage, I do whatever I can to make sure my wife is reasonably happy. I don't cater to her every need, but if she isn't happy it makes my like generally worse. Not because she becomes a raging bitch or anything if I don't, but just because I like hanging around with happy people.

However, the flip case is also true, as my wife goes out of her way to make sure I am reasonably happy.

I also agree that anyone who isn't in a similar situation is likely in trouble in some way in their marriage. I am not saying they are doomed for divorce or anything extreme like that, because in the years I have been married it has been that way more than on one occasion, but I just mean that it could be better.

Now, on the topic of time out with friends, both my wife and I have days during the week that we set aside for our own stuff. She goes and does her boot camp/training , and goes out with her friends to watch her shows or have wings etc. I go out and play games with my friends and have people over for guys night stuff.

Stuff like that is really important to staying sane, especially if you have kids.

I have a girl that does that. One of the main reasons why I broke up with my last girlfriend was because she wasn't willing to let me see my friends as much as I wanted.

This might hurt some of you, but some of you need to grow a pair and take control of your lives.

I'm probably going to be in the minority here and get slammed for this, but I agree with you on both counts.

Or something. Right.
