It doesn't sound like she even wants a GNO. I think she just wants her husband to be home and present sometimes on his one day off.
I remember those days with three little kids at home when the sound of the garage door opening was the best sound on earth because it meant there might be a time soon that I could make a decision just for myself. And if not at least I had someone there to tag in.
I'm having quite the same issue too. I'm pregnant with my 3rd child and my husband only gets a day off once a week. During the day he runs around doing errands and then he goes out with his friends around 7pm and returns late night around 3am which is annoying. He doesn't drink which is a good thing. I'm suffering with depression and have been quite an emotional wreck lately. Sometimes you just want to sit down and talk to them specially on their days off. You do feel lonely specially during the times of being pregnant.
Seems like he doesn't want to be at home.
Did he want a 3rd child also or was that your idea?
She didn't say that he is or that she doesn't work also.
Even if she is a SAHM, having been a SAHM myself, including as a mom of multiples, I can tell you that it can be incredibly overwhelming, like a full-time job with no breaks at all. Unless you've been a parent, it's hard to understand that it's not clapping and singing and going to the park all day.
This isn't really about a "guys' night out," though. They obviously have a problem in their marriage that they need to address. But we really don't have enough info to help now.
Oh, I totally get it.
yet, she got pregnant a third time - can't be that bad.
If you are overwhelmed, don't do it again ... and again! You can stop after one child, you know?
Absolutely not. Not my intention to imply at all. We did not do this when they were very small. But if it is manageable, rock it.
My child was a bit of a nightmare as a baby until he was about 2.5 years old ( colic, no sleep, didn't sleep through the night, etc). I would have gone absolutely crazy without time away from him. I even went on a girls trip when he was about 2. I cried as I left him, but once I was gone it was the break I needed. Everyone is different. But I would be ok with my husband going out once a week, because I know I can do the same, if I want.
I would never be with a man who spends every Saturday night out drinking without me.
Kids or no kids, it just wouldn't be for me.
But hey, if it works for you guys, go for it. I suppose all of you are in happy relationships.
As a husband I believe a guy should never go out every Saturday. Saturday night's are couple nights unless something was planned ahead and OK'ed by wife. NO surprises on weekend nights. That way if you have a guy trip she more likely to give you the OK. It is all about give and take..

Sure, not every Saturday night, but once or twice a month, no big deal. It is about give and take, and my husband going out on a few Saturday nights has nothing to do with a guys trip, of course he can do a guys trip, as can I ( a girls trip). People need to realize marriage doesn't mean you can't have a life outside of it each. I am not saying every Saturday night is ok, but Saturday night doesn't always have to be couple night, sometimes it can be friends night.

Well you know I always like Canadian Girls! He is a lucky guy....
I would sit him down and tell him how it is. He is a father now and needs to be there for his family. What if you wanted to go out every Saturday also? You need to find a compromise.
I absolutely agree. Ask him to sit with your child and go out with your friends You also need to relax and rest.
