I quashed the chicken run. I carefully explained that right now, her "wants" must be suppressed.
Today:
Wife: "I'm going to my friend's house for dinner."
Me: "Didn't they just return from TN?"
Wife: "Yeah, but that was several days ago, they're fine."
As an extrovert, she's having a very hard time with this. As an introvert, I'm cool as a cucumber.
If it were me, I'd lock her out of the house. Of course this depends on her sammich makin skills.
