No we buy drinks separately when were all together. My husband picked up the tab for food a few times She gave him a reference for a job twice, so I think he owes her something. Driving me a bit crazy Dont know if she is trying to get a job from him, cause she doesnt like her job My husband now in different position Or she is very needy or what But I will take your advice
Happy hours are usually weekdays.
Look at the credit card statements and see if he spends as much or more by himself as when with you. Maybe they split the checks when you spouses are there and he treats her when you aren't.
Or maybe she's just a party animal looking for anyone willing to hang out.
Hello Just trying to figure this out. My husband has a former female coworker that always wants to go to happy hour almost every weekend They like craft beer, sometimes includes me and her husband. They seem like nice people They are about 15- 20 yrs younger than us They have 2 younger children. Our children are grown These people like to drink. Sometimes my husband goes without me Im getting a liitle burnt out on that every weekend thing. He says he wants me there, but this is getting to be too much I would like my husband with me Im I asking too much? thanks
He wants you to go have two craft beers on a Friday for an hour? I really don’t think that is too much. If the coworkers seem fine that I’m sure you can trust your husband.
So in the "PRO" column we have the fact that he is including you, or trying to.
In the "CON" column is the fact that he is brushing off your attempts to take a break from happy hour every once in a while and that he says he CAN'T say no.
Every single weekend sounds excessive. Can your husband just cheerfully text back "How about next week?" When she asks for this weekend? No explanation necessary and he is actually giving a yes to going out. But is stretching things out to every couple weeks or even every third week.
If she demands an explanation he can just cheerfully say "Oh, that weekend just works better for us."
These people sound really needy or possibly lonely but you know...if they don't have any other friends to go out with, it might just be because they're overly pushy and clueless. Just a thought.
Yea the craft beers sometime stretch from 2 to almost 5 hrs You all have good advice, I cant check his cards they are all online with passwords We dont have a lot of friends either, but I think they do Looking for drinking buddies I think All these new breweries popping up they are heavy into it. Thanks to all I will try Sometimes I feel Im competing with her she is one initiating it
Perhaps you should invite your husband on a different kind of date? I’d get pretty bored with the same routine. Maybe you should make different plans together every other week or or.

Oh geez yeah that changes my perspective I think that is a bit excessive. I enjoy going for happy hour a few fridays a month with coworkers. But we’re talking 2 drink max and an hour then off too the weekend with family. I think it’s worth a discussion with him and maybe cut it back to 1-2 Friday’s per month.
That's a bigger issue imo, you should have full access to family finances.
Yeah, that's a little alarming.
