writes: Dear cupid,Our group of friends meet up every week, once a week to a local pub for seveal years now. We all enjoyed having a few drinks and listen to local music acts. We have always welcomed our single friend's new love interests. Now it seems that one of our friends has met and moved in with someone. (One thing that i forgot to mention in my last post is that she is STILL MARRIED to someone else!!) This someone didn't seem controling at first but now this seems to be the case!(I think this person generally feels insecure...but we were STILL nice to her!)They use to go out as a couple for several months before and after they moved in together. Then they slowly stopped going out! Now they don't go anywhere!A mutual friend says that he will hardly let him speak without her permission let alone, have a cocktail with his old friends!! (a group of Males and Females ...some of them couples!) I saw our friend on the street the other day and asked him if he/they were going to the pub. He said that he would like to go but we'll see how things go! I could see in his face that he would really like to go. Then changed his tune a bit to indicate that he would have to check with her before they make a decision. Should I speak to my friend about being "henpecked" or just let it go?!?! What makes a man become so "henpecked?"

This may be sexist, but a man does not let himself get pussywhipped by a woman. If a man wants to go out and see his mates once in a while, drinking, he does. A woman cannot stop him.
Just as a man can't stop his woman from seeing her friends.
He's the man of the house and it is HIS opinion that is law.

It's never a good idea to get involved in a friend's relationship. Just keep inviting him to join you and letting him know that you value his friendship. If he gets tired of the strangle hold she has on him he will know where you are.
