You are sounding like a baby. She's in South Beach, and you want her to sit around because you can't be there. It's more than her not telling you, whatever that has to do with anything. Things change on the fly at those things.

although it's only our 2nd anniversary, it is a date where we acknowledge our relationship, how far we've come and how much we value it. I want her to have fun when she goes on this events, and I hate to be the controlling type but It really bothers me that she went out to an after party on our anniversary night without the intention of telling me

So, tell her that. Give her the opportunity to say "yay" or "nay" to this need you have to be told where she is at when she is out of your presence.

Well, clearly it bothers you but it sounds like you were looking for her to ask permisssion. You're already suspecting that she went out with a man alone. Are you jealous when she's in town too?


Do you ever travel for work with colleagues, especially ones you'd consider work friends?

Not that she should be purposefully hiding things from you, but what difference does it make if she tells you or not? You're not there, you're not invited, and you trust her, right?

Yes, you are overreacting. Stop trying to punish her for not abiding by your unwritten rules.

I trust her, I'm certain she didn't cheat on me, but yes I guess I do need her to tell me (not ask for permission) when she's heading out to a party at midnight. To me it is a matter of respect and trust. I know that's what I would have done if it was the other way around

If the shoe were on the other foot, I believe you would be acting differently.

She's out of town on your two-year anniversary. It can't be helped, so you schedule the celebration for the next night. Problem solved, except for the insecurity. For that, you are on your own.

I am a controlling person and even I think you are overly controlling. Let it go.


And next anniversary, if she is out of town - fly there and surprise her ... with a ring!

Then you need to tell her that so she knows all the rules in advance when she is hundreds of miles away.
