I think they should compromise. Your brother should spend less time with his friends. But his wife should let him go out sometimes also.

if your brother would be willing to spend his time at home or with his family instead, that would be nice...his wife on the other hand, should be more lenient as long as your brother isn't going out with other women...they should talk this over...it doesn't matter who must give in as long as one of them does they can be happier...or they could also meet in between...sometimes your brother gets what he wants and other times his wife...

I dont hink he should not be able to hang out with his friends but there are some friends you cant trust becuase they can lie for them and maybe they arent going out with the guy friends but with a girl. I say tell him to make it one family night a week and one friend not a week. It isnt fair to keep your wife home waiting and the kids. That doesnt show good ethics or morals to teh children either.

I agree with zemrat. There should be a time for the family and a time for the friends. Sometimes need to go out also. But I think the wife should do the same, go out sometimes. This will give her the chance to relax and enjoy. Perhaps through this she will be able to understand what her husband needs. It will also make your brother know how it feels to be left at home to take care of the kids while the other is having fun.

Maybe your brother could take her with him sometimes. This way she will be able to meet his friends and see what they usually do when they go out.

I think your brother must give up going out for a while. Then he should let his wife go out also. Sometimes they can go out together too. But they have to talk about the issue, I think they have to set some limitations as to how much one can go out with friends.

" If you love someone, let him free. If he loves you, he'll come back to you. If he does not come back, well, he was never yours" I think that the quote says it all. Why is your sister-in-law behaving as a kid? I dont see whats wrong if your brother wants to go out with his friends. Agree that he is married, but he needs to meet his friends too. I think that they both should discuss about that matter

I believe that they should sit down and talk.There need to be some compromise.The husband will not always be able to stay with her wife as he sometimes need to be with his friend.On the other hand he must also give some time to his wife so as to be together.
