And then there was silence......

"Hi, Honey I am sorry if I have upset you?" No offense to you or to him but it sounds as if he's jealous. I'd approach this carefully as jealousy is a hard topic to chew on. I think the best thing for you to do is to sit down, get him relaxed by rubbing his shoulders or talking quieter then you might would normally and then ask him why exactly he felt that you shouldn't go out? I guess that's not the best wording, but you could pick a better wording.

I think let him mellow down first. He just cares for you, and love you so much. I think he just need attention, why not try to cook him a nice meal. Hug him tight when you go to bed. Then discuss the issue. Maybe by that time he will listen to you, and just make him feel that you understand him, just to settle what he feels. Have a nice day to you!

Wahh... that's what your husband sounds like. That is completely ridiculous. So, what, I'm married so I'm not allowed to have or associate with any single female friends? What's next, no friends at all? Sounds like your man has a little paranoia and possibly a little control issue. As far as bringing it up with him, just tell him how you feel. Tell him you feel like you should be able to have and hang out with single friends. (Assuming that is how you actually feel.) Then tell him that if he truly loves you and trusts you, your going out with a single female friend should not worry him. I just hope that his paranoia about your going out isn't reflecting some guilt from something bad that he may have done. I don't want to pry, but men often get this way when they have done something they're not proud of. Anyway, I hope it works out and I hope you are able to make him see that just because you are a married woman should not mean that you are not allowed to see your single girlfriends. Maybe you could suggest a compromise. Tell him that if it makes him that uncomfortable and since you don't feel you should not be allowed to hang out with this friend, that he accompany you and your friend. It would greatly help if you and your girlfriend talked about things that men find totally boring...like shopping, clothes, and what you had to eat that day. It would help even more if your husband doesn't really like this friend. If he does go, he'll be so completely bored that next time you say you want to go out with your single friend and ask him to come along since it bothers him when you go by yourself, he'll probably say, "You know what, honey? Why don't you go without me this time? You girls have fun." It's worth a shot, right? LOL. You've just gotten your first lesson in how to be a brain ninja.
