Just curious...

For those whose husbands go out with other women like that (or who go out with men yourselves), how does that play out in reality?

Say it's Tuesday afternoon and you've just walked in the door from picking up the kids from school. Joe calls and says, "Dinah, wanna go to Applebees tonight?" You say, "Sure - let me fix supper for Tom and the kids and you can pick me up at 7:00."

And then you make spaghetti, set the table for your husband and children, take a shower, dry your hair, grab your purse, and then watch for Joe while they all settle in to watch re-runs on Nick at Nite...?

When you say "go out with", is this the sort of scenario you're talking about? Or just that during the workday when it's time for lunch, if the other person who wants to go to Taco Bell in your office happens to be a man, you don't let that deter you?
