DH won't do anything I ask for without checking first. If I suggest a restaurant I see while out, he will say "who has been there? Let's ask so and so who it is."
Not sure why he can't just say "sure let's go check it out."
If I suggest a vacation spot, same thing. He will want to ask someone else. And even then, because I suggested it, we usually don't go.
He has asked for my birthday and Christmas lists. I give it and when he goes shopping invariably, he will "run into someone" who says "oh no give her this instead."
Even my engagement ring same thing. I said what I wanted and when he went to buy it, someone else told him what to get me.
Am I the only one whose husband is like this?

This weekend DH and I went to dinner with two other couples we know. The one couple are super fun. The other couple does nothing but bicker. The whole meal was them sniping at each other. How to deal?

No she wasn’t-interesting comment. She was in capri pants and a light sweater with cute sandals

I haven’t had too many interactions with her. She is married to my husbands high school friend.

I would not invite her to my home again.
No she wasn’t….or didn’t appear to be drunk but yes belligerent.

That's true and she sounds awful, but you spoke to her like she was a child.
I didn’t talk down-you couldn’t see the other table…there are trees…it’s a Lima bean pool

Hi
So DH and I had a pool party this past weekend. We invited some of our friends and their kids along with our college aged son and his friends.
So the kids set up a water volleyball net in the pool and started playing. Ages were my son who is 21 down to 12.
So as you play water volleyball, you will splash and create waves. I think this is normal.
Well one of DH's friends wives did not like it and stood up and proceeded to yell at my son and several kids in the pool to stop splashing. I ignored it.
Kids continued to play and splashing ensued again. And again the wife stood up and said "you need to stop splashing or the game will stop."
So at this point, I needed to step in as it is my pool and my guests. I quietly said to her "If the splashing bothers you, please sit at the other end of the pool where they aren't playing. There is a table there to sit at."
Apparently that was wrong because she said "Why do I need to leave when they are clearly in the wrong?" I said "well they aren't splashing in the deep end." And left it at that. Her husband came over to talk to her but you could tell she was not having it.
Who was wrong here?
