I'm very liberal when it comes to her going out with her friends. What gripes me the most is her friends bought her the ticket without asking me or her if there were conflicts. It's as if they undermined me as her husband. After all I should have a say in this too. If they would have called me, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but since they purposefully bought the ticket preventing her from backing out, knowing I have no say is where I'm pissed as all get go. I am her husband and I should have a say in it. We do have children. They don't have children, or they are all grown up. Yesterday was her birthday, and today is our 20th wedding anniversary, so I'm trying like hell to keep my emotions in tact. What if we had plans that weekend, what if I had plans? I am growing more and more tired of her work people because they all seem to walk on water. I'd appreciate any advise or thoughts. Thanks

And what are you freaked out about?
Sounds like resentment has been building for awhile. Maybe you need to take a long drive and spend some time thinking about what's got you so worked up.
This is your problem, not your wife's coworkers.
And Memphis is fine. Nothing to it.
