Default my spouse is traveling overseas with me..?

..to my home country where she has been only once before. I want to go out with my friends one day, from morning to late night...she says this is rude, i said id find stuff for her to do so she wont be bored...she said she doesnt know anyone and maybe later on when she has her own social life there it would be different but right now she says its insensitive...we live in her country, i have no job, no friends or family for the past two and half years...but in fairness, she doesnt go out with her friends without me here in canada either...i said she could, i wouldnt care, but she says she wont do it because she knows how bored id be and feels rude unless im out with my own friends too... we spend all our time together as she works at home and because i dont work im at home too...she says she wouldnt leave me behind an entire day and night if it was reversed, i said i wouldnt care
am i being rude?

Sounds like she's being either insecure or selfish. Seriously, a grown adult should be able to find a way to entertain themselves for a day.

Yes you are (being rude) and I don't believe for one minute that you love her as much as she loves you. I think you are using her.

oh gosh why are yall spending so much time together. I really dont think its rude just introduce her to some of your buddies wives and see if they can go hang out together. too much time together can be draining. you need time alone and away from your wife

Did she ask this question also recently? I remember a similar one I think last week.

She needs to give you a break. She can go sightsee or see a movie and have lunch (if she speaks the language) or if not she can just do a little shopping. Do you have a female relative that can take her around? Another option would be for you to go a day or two before she does. That way you can see your friends and she doesn't have to be worried about having nothing to do.

Why can't she hang out with you and your friends? What would you be doing that she can't be a part of. Also, why would you be out from morning to late night? That seems a bit inappropriate for a married man, with his spouse in tow. I wouldn't say you're being rude but maybe a bit inconsiderate.

I don't think it is rude at all. If you haven't seen your friends and you are in your country, then they will expect you to spend some time with them. You should make sure that your wife is introduced to them and that you all spend some time together too. My husband just visited his country last year. I have been to India but decided not to go with him. I was busy with work and was not up to the flight. He went out with friends. It was all fine. You should make sure you get home at a decent time and not the next day though. She just needs to trust you and stay occupied. Does she get along with your family? If she does then what is the problem. It is just one day. I go out with my friends and don't always bring my husband and so does he. We spend a lot of time together too, so we trust each other. If she is a mature adult, she will not have a problem. Otherwise, why can't you go alone this time?
