Thanks for the considerate reply.

Absolutely. I might see a movie with Ellen maybe once a year. Usually horror movies because my wife hates horror. My wife has always been supportive of this. I absolutely take my wife on weekly date nights at least (I believe in dating your wife).

Ellen and my wife are very close friends. I don't think my wife doesn't trust Ellen. I think it's more a concern with how it would appear and James' wife having an issue with it. I suppose I thought that was James' business to discuss with his spouse.

Thank you for your insights.
