How do you hang out with someone and exclude their spouse? (wife, husband)

[MordinSolus]

I know this married couple and spend a lot of time with them, but I can't stand the husband. The wife is completely awesome and a blast to hang out with, but the husband is a ****ing clod. He brings the mood down, can't tell an interesting story or funny joke to save his life, and is just generally bitter and disagreeable.
Is there any way to just hang out with the wife without coming out and saying her husband is a bell end? Or is it too weird since she's married and I'm a guy?

this is where gender does matter....there are boundaries when married you need to respect,,,even if you don't agree


if you were female,,its ok,,,but being male its not ok

and it doesn't matter how innocent you say things are...or nothing between you two


be careful, you are playing with fire..you can easily be burnt

It's an unusual marriage where a spouse can "hang out" with a friend of the opposite sex. I used to have a good male friend that I could hang out with once in a while, but he was gay and that made a world of difference to my husband.

Yes...toooo weird.
It's a package deal if you want her company....that or find someone else who's "awesome and a blast to hang out with".
She's with someone...you can't pretend she isn't.

Tell her you'd like to see her without her husband and let her figure out how.

Since you are male and she is married, it's a no go. You get them both or neither.

Bah! Humbug!

If a female friend wants to spend time with him, I come along.

That is the way it is with us.

That assumes she'd want to hang out with the OP without her husband, and why should she?

This should be done in a group setting.
