A real Gen Xer will drop everything and take his wife out or at least call her bluff if she is not sincere in asking you.
Why are you unavailable? Is it dart night or something?

You can't be serious.
Do you want her to cry about it? You can't go, what does it matter if she asks your son that day or a week later?

I think you are creating a problem out of something that’s not a problem.
Either take the time off (I understand if you can’t -my husband can never take time off) or ask her to wait for a weekend you can go with her.
If she really wants you to go with her - she will wait until you can go. If she doesn’t - and you don’t care - then it doesn’t matter.

I agree with it's response.

So… you’re mad your wife still lives her life when you can’t tag along? Sounds less like she’s “replacing” you and more like you’re sulking because the world doesn’t stop when you’re busy.

You have no worries until she is gone playing “Pickleball “ 4 or 5 nights a week and on weekends.

You’re way overthinking this. Your wife is independent and logical enough that she doesn’t get mad bc you can’t go.

I wouldn't have a problem, if he's paying his own way.
If you and your wife are paying for trips for kids over 21 years old, you need to cut yje cord.

The only way this story would even make sense whatsoever (and even then) would be if the kid wasn't hers. Your story is hard to follow, but what's clear is all the kids involved are hers. So what the frick is the problem?

I have a hard time understanding that a functional husband would make this post.
I can't even fathom this level of dysfunctional.

You sound like you want to be controlling and your wife is having none of it so your feelings are hurt.

You want her to not live life because you have a shite job? You sound like an immature frick

If you really want to go do something with her...throw out some suggestions, make a plan, and take time off of work. If you're youngest is 21+, you should be well enough along in your career that you can take a few days with advance notice.

OP essentially wants his wife to beg him to go with her for X amount of time (however long he deems appropriate), before settling on taking her son instead. She's not begging him for long enough, dammit!
Sounds like my wife.
She doesn't want to go, but ALWAYS wants to be invited so she can say no.

Not sure what the problem is. Become more available or quit whining.
Posted on 8/26/25 at 12:46 pm to HollywoodCourt
Do they sleep in separate beds while out of town?
Posted on 8/26/25 at 12:48 pm to HollywoodCourt
What the hell is your problem exactly? You want your wife to cry and beg for you to go even though you can't? Are you sure you're the man in this relationship?

This seems to be the place for this.
Background: My wife has two children from a previous marriage, and we have one together. In the past +12 years there has been times when she has asked me to accompany her, if I was unavailable, she immediately tells me she's going to take our son. He's +21 years but under 25.

Her son is gay, isn't he?
