Friends dynamics

How do you deal with the change of dynamics between friends.  I have always made my own plans, but now that I am married how do you put someone (a friend or relative)  on hold while you verify with your spouse that the plans you are about to make are ok?

Re: Friends dynamics

  • You say "Oh, that sounds terrific!  Let me check with H to make sure there isn't anything scheduled for that night that I have forgotten.  I will call you (in ten minutes, tonight after work, before Friday) to let you know if I am a go!"

    Simple.  You are married and your friends know it, so double checking a shared calendar is expected.   

  • Agree with above.

    "That sounds like fun. I'm not sure if John has plans for us. Let me check with him and I'll let you know later."

    This exactly. H does this all the time. His friends call and ask him to do something and he always says "let me check with C and I'll call you back." H goes out more than me, but whenever I'm making plans I'm sure to let him know ahead of time in case he had something else planned for us.
