I have been seperated for four months now. My wife and i got into big time arguments over this subject. it is part of the reason that we are seperated. I told her that nothing but bad things could come from hanging out at a bar. Obviously she disagrees. She would say that i do not trust her. Since we have been seperated i won't take the kids on Friday or Saturday night so she can go run. I am at wit end with the whole situation.

I think I'm going to be the dissenting voice here.
I don't have a problem with my husband going out for a drink after work...either by himself on the way home, or with a buddy from work. Nor do I believe it's wrong for me to want to stop for a glass of wine after a long day, and have some time for myself there.
While I see that "things can happen" if spouses are repeatedly out at bars, late, by themselves, I don't think an adult going out on their own for whatever reason...as long as it's not to cheat...is wrong. Every night? Certainly not. To the detriment of the family? No. But just because you get married and share your life with someone, I don't know why you have to give up all of your independence and small things that might make you happy. That's just me. I hope I'm not going to get flamed for this.
