It’s Friday night and my husband is up the road having drinks with a couple of his friends.

He invited me along a few times and I didn’t go because (1) we are seeing his extended family tomorrow and his friend+others on Sunday, so I wanted tonight for ourselves, and (2) I’m not terribly in the mood and it’s two other guys (who i know and who like me, but it’s still three guys and maybe the other two want guy time?). He also texted me to say if I change my mind, to please come. I know he’d be happier if I appeared.

So, I’m by myself this evening and don’t really know what to do with myself as I was expecting something else (my own fault there for not communicating).

I could read a book, watch TV, listen to music, clean up the house, or join him as I know he’d like that. But I’m sure he’d also appreciate me tidying up (don’t worry, it’s not untidy, but it could do with a brush up).

I was thinking that I should chill a little, drink a glass of wine, clean and then maybe go out.

What do you ladies think?

I’m more curious than anything to see what other people would do in this scenario.

Edit: so, I stayed home and cleaned and now everything looks and feels so good. I even cleaned the light switches which were looking a little grimy. Other than cooking (most meals) and putting dishes in the dishwasher, I do no chores.

Also, before my husband went out, he ordered me takeout. He’s out later than we thought he’d be, but his with his boys and he’s sent a few loving texts over the past few hours. I think he’s missing me but we both wfh and are together 24/7 so I think it’s good to give him a little reminder of what it’s like without me around.

I feel really good but, all of that aside, I’d just like to express my gratitude for the women on this sub. You are all so wonderful. Love you lots.
