Tough Talk,
My wife and I became friends with another married couple through her work. We became friendly and double-dated going out to dinner, bowling and other fun activities. I like his wife. However, when I invite the husband out for just male activities with my friends, he gets all whiny like a girl and wants his wife to go along too. I told him it’s just for hanging out with my friends who have met him and get along. When I ask him, he doesn’t know what to say and acts like a spoiled brat princess. It’s disgusting TT. What do you think I should do? (Elkwood, IN)
Elkwood,
Sounds like you need to cut this squid loose. You can’t make a person want to hang out if he doesn’t want to. I would of course mock him out for his reaction to the invite, but don’t push it any further. He is probably doing you a favor. Enjoy your male bonding.
