When you have a friend over...

for lunch or drinks in the evening and your DH is home does he hang around you and your friend, or make himself scarce, or ?

I'm talking about one, maybe two female friends.

DH comes home for lunch and I've had several friends over now in summer and he tends to hang around. Like tomorrow my SIL is coming over for lunch and he wanted to schedule his lunch so he was here when she was here which I said I didn't want him to do. I said he was like a third wheel and he thinks I'm being pathetic. 

What happens in your house?

I never ask him to but he usually finds somewhere else to be. lol

I don't have to ask either, DH stays for what he feels is a friendly, welcoming time frame and then disappears.  Even when it's his SIL - he can only handle so much female conversation and laughing.

Um, it probably depends on who it is. A bit of both. Now that we have a kid we have a sort of unspoken rule that whoever's friend it isn't will do most of the kid-chasing, but we tend to both hang out when the other has a friend around.

Our house is a bungalow with an unfinished basement, so there aren't many places for him to go.  He usually goes in the office, or I do depending whose friend it is.  If the friend isn't a mutual friend then he will stay and chat for a bit, but then leaves us to chat.

When I have visited friends the same thing usually happens; they chat for a bit and then go to another room.

DH will usually stay for a few minutes and chat and then go and do something else, I never ask him and or tell him he just does on his own.  The same is done in return.

Depends who it is. If its someone that he is equally as close with he stays but if its one of my gf from highschool or something he will chat and then take off.
