Yes.

If I couldn't trust her to go places by herself, she wouldn't be my SO.

Being clingy is one of the most pathetic and futile things you can do. The tighter you cling, the more you'll drive people away.

Yes. In fact, she does all the time (I hate them). When you get older, parties turn from wild-getting smashed-scantly clad-hormone fests to playing cards over a wine cooler and talking about how little Jimmy is doing in school.

It's funny how when I hit my early 30's, staying at home in my boxers eating a bowl of Super Chunky Fundge ice cream watching something I recorded on Tivo appeals to me more than socializing :)

Please add "For Anyone 20 and Younger Only" to title...

(20 seemed like a nice number to use...hopefully my point will be taken:)
)

Ok I have been married for 9 years and I cannot remember the last time I "LET" my wife do anything.

WHat the hell kind of control are you people looking for and just how insecure are you with the relationship?

I was thinking the same thing :) Reminds me of a Family Guy quote:

"Lois, I'm king of this castle, and I COMMAND you to give me permission to go..."

I'm a possessive girlfriend and ofcourse I would "let" him.

(let meaning, not start a big fight about it)

I wouldn't expect my SO to want to go to parties without me, but if its a practical issue it would be no big deal.
