Will you be upset if your spouse doesn't spend the Saturday night with you?

I think I am one of the 'desperated wives'. Today is Saturday. The day I can have a good rest and anything I like. You know, we are busy every workdays,even at night. Tonight, I wanted to spend it with my honey. But one of his friends called him out after we took a after-supper walk in the park. He thought it was OK to leave me alone at home and he went to hang out with his friend. I think he may think we have been together all day, that's enough. I am frustrated. Because I don't want to be alone on Saturday night. He can't understand why I am upset. And I am too angry to explain anything to him.

Sometimes I feel that too, but I tell him how I feel so he can understand and he won't feel as if I don't want him to spend time with his friends, coz that would make me appear like a selfish person. I make him understand why it is important. The thing is, in my case, more often than not, he loves spending it with me, sometimes I also need space and spend it with my family or friends. I feel more upset when we works overtime until weekends when its not needed. I try to tell him that we earn is enough so no need to work extra time for the company and then he listens and explain it too that its not about the money, its about his dedication and loyalty to his boss. I let it pass though, for a day, but when he starts making it all up to me in the evening, its fine. Don't let your anger come between you or he'll misinterpret your reaction and he'll be hurt about that. Try to express it firmly and much simple, sometime I hate that too, but when it comes to guys you really have to tell them why you're pissed, or they'll assume everything's okay. What annoys a girl more is when they ask why you're angry when you expect them to already know... they're very much different than us, they can't feel what you feel unless you tell them.

HI, Pikoy. I think your must be a considerate person, and your husband is so lucky to be with you. You are right, they are totally differen from us. But I am not good at expressing my feeling. How I wish he could understand me without my expression. But every time fails. We have been married for only one year. I sometimes think this guy is not the one I loved before, especially when he can't read my feeling. I think I still need to learn how to get well with him. Thank you for your advice. I feel better now.

I usually work Saturday nights. I work nights most of the time. I am usually off on Tuesday nights and Sunday. I work till late at night the other nights of the week. My wife's schedule is completely different. She goes to work early in the morning, and she usually gets off about 4 P.M. She spends most of her days "taking care of" (read BABYSITTING) her dad and older brother. We don't get much time together as it is, and her family always seems to manage to screw up what little time we do have together. I wish they would get a life so that WE could have OUR lives back...

Well wanting to spend time with your spouse dont make you a desperate wife afterall thats why you are married.When you spend five to six days away from the ones you love of course its natural you would want to spend your free time with them.With me it really doesnt matter if he is at home sometimes.He is not the kind of person who would go for a walk in the park,go to the movies or do anything fun with me so basically when he goes out on a saturday night i feel good.But if your spouse does that often find something fun to do or talk to him and let him know how you feel.Communication always make things better.And if that dont work then find things to do whilst he is gone to occupy your time.Sometimes our spouses need time to enjoy a night out with the boys/girls and so we should have some sort of schedule as to what days of the month they should go whether its once a month or once every week.This might help you a great deal and talk to him if you think he should spend his saturday nights with you.

Hi ibelle. Dont worry much dear. Maybe he overlook the matter of leaving you alone and speanding the night with his friends. I suggest you not to make this think as a matter as it might dissapoint your spouse. He might feel controlled and restricted to spend time with his friend. Dont worry weekends come along fast and next saturday would be a better saturday with your spouse. Maybe you can plan something earlier with him so that you can enjoy a double enjoyment. My opinion is to give and take. If this repeats then you can choose to speak to your spouse about it. Take care. Thanusha

Hi, Thanusha. Your advice really helps me. Maybe you are right. I should have not had my hb feel controlled and restricted. I have a talk with him last night when he came back. And he promised to spend the following Saturday nights with me. Thanks.

If I am married and I am living with my husband, I will really be upset if my husband would not spend time with me on the only day we can spend time together. If my husband will choose his friends over me will really make me feel bad. It is as if he loves his friends more than me. My husband should be with me. His friends will always be there, but the precious moment that we will be sharing on that day could possibly will not come again.

I don't know how often it happens to you, but if it was once, I wouldn't be mad. Hey you could have taken that time to go out yourself. If it happens often to were he goes out, (and you have to stay at home cause you have no babysitter, and you are stuck in east bumble *** then yea, be pissed, very pissed.- gee can you tell its a regular occurrence in my home?)

I think it is no deserved to upset, although we are married, each of us do not want sacrificed our free and friendship. Love is no doubt important for all of us, but other sentiments is as important as love. And as you state below, this kind of situation is not occured often, Hence, you can learnd to enjoy yourself i/o lean on somebody excessively, our women need to be an independent.

OK been here. As long as you do not think he is "up to something". Let him have his guy time. He needs it. Something about their ego gets fed when they stand around beating their collective chests. Find something for YOU when he is gone like this. If you want to "play" him go out in public....mall, coffee shop whatever is your style and complain about guys bothering you when he is not around. Trust me you have more control over this situation than you think.
