[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there's a middle ground. in my family it would be like this:

spouse A--hey, do you mind if I go to HH?

spouse B--sure, fine, should I wait for dinner for you?

Spouse a-yes, I'll be home by 7:30 or No, dont wait.

Spouse B--okay, text me before you leave

If, for some reason, 9 pm rolls around and spouse A hasn't come home? Spouse B--hey, are you okay? please let me know when you'l be home and take uber if you've been drinking.

Spouse b-sorry, leaving in 15 mins. [/quote]

This isn't a good example of middle ground and in your example, you are more like OP than you think.[/quote]

Sure it is. Key difference here: spouse A checks in to see if the behavior is an inconvenience. OP's spouse simply announces that he is going out, and does not communicate that he won't be home to eat.

No this reads like an exchange between a parent and their teenage child.

A healthy example of how adults communicate with each other is given at 21:12.

If spouse is not cool with them staying for happy hour for some reason say the baby is super colicky and the toddler has suddenly come down with a bad case of the runs, spouse could respond with.  Could you skip tonight, the kids are sick and I could really use your help managing tonight?

Or do you think you'll be in by 9 I was looking forward to "time together" tonight.[/quote]
