Hangout with friends
Wife and I had a fight last night. Yesterday group of work friends wanted to get together. I asked her if I could join them after work. She said that was ok and have fun. Do to the nature of my job we didn’t get the details figured out till I was off my shift. I shared them with her.
I met up with friends and the place they picked was actually a bar, not what their site link said. I felt no big deal. We hanged out talking shop and all. I had one beer at the beginning but then water for the rest of the time (few hours). Stayed later then I thought so headed home.
now my wife is *** because I went out and was late. Mad that I had a beer. Saying that I should be with family not hanging out with friends and not having beer especially when I have been hesitant about drinking with her lately because of my job.
I will admit I was at first a little extreme at first. But I have relaxed with it with drinking reasonably with her and her friends. So I didn’t see a problem with a beer with friends.
She is all mad and making all sorts of false accusations. So. It sure how to handle this. It was simply a few guys chatting. Something I haven’t done for years. She has gone out with friends at least once a month, so feel that I can’t have one night is a little unfair.
not sure where to go from here.

It seems totally reasonable for you to have time with work friends she knew you were doing this... it is not about spending time with friends / the beer or being late....
IMO some people although they act OK about it they do not like it if you actually do it.... they become critical of how long you were gone what were you doing etc ..
It makes little sense but I have seen and have had same with my spouse ........if you have been a home body and this is seen as a venture out to have your own friends and they may not really like that reality. they want a detailed account but the fact is she is Not your mom and you are not a child do you grill her on her girls night out? if not do it next time to show her it goes both ways.
