Dear Queenie,
My husband and a group of his friends have formed a sort of “club” that meets at the men’s homes a couple of times a week. One of the men, who is sort of the leader of the group, says these meetings are for the men only and the women – their wives! – should not be there when the men get together and should leave the house and go somewhere else when the men are meeting.
My husband doesn’t agree with all that, but he is close friends with the other men in the group and doesn’t want to just quit.
Queenie, do you have any suggestions?—Excluded wives
Dear Wives,
My first, obvious, suggestion is that the group should meet at a coffee shop or restaurant instead the members’ homes.
The next suggestion is that the wives have their own get-together – somewhere else! – when the men are meeting.
Also, the wives should stop preparing any refreshments for the men’s meetings. Let the men make their own preparations, or order take-out.
