I think I'll do a blog post about this.<br /><br />There have been so many times when I have had to force myself to go somewhere with my husband just because it would be too awkward for him if he went alone.

He did it once or twice then finally he told me that in France people go out as a couple. If I don't go with him, he will have to answer a thousand time why he is alone.

A lot of the French women I know have small children anyway. And the rest... well, let's just say that I don't see them coming over for a girls' DVD night anytime soon. I think I would like that, though, but with who, really?<br />Den nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259526826141331097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-27090790696384204522013-04-22T16:35:37.327-07:002013-04-22T16:35:37.327-07:00Ce commentaire a été supprimé par l'auteur.Den nationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259526826141331097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-1093246903411567432013-04-22T08:53:45.407-07:002013-04-22T08:53:45.407-07:00I have noticed this when in France also - people a...I have noticed this when in France also - people are much more family-orientated. After suffering the after effects of a girls nights out this weekend, I feel like that family orientated culture is better though! Although I do enjoy a good girls night ;) what about DVD nights and things like that?Holly Hollyson @ Full of Beans and Sausageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924287399418536406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-20052732265483365442013-04-21T23:50:31.338-07:002013-04-21T23:50:31.338-07:00Max goes out with his friends whenever he is in th...Max goes out with his friends whenever he is in the north of France. I don't usually go to the north with him, but if I were there, I'd go along. Not because I consider his friends my friends, really, but more not to be left alone with his parents!<br /><br />French women my age scare me. Perhaps this is why I don't have any French friends my age who are female. I just don't "get" them, and I doubt I ever will!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136483568967161966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877199150999254647.post-30356278098431715962013-04-20T18:52:03.298-07:002013-04-20T18:52:03.298-07:00I always go out independently.

Feng knows my friends and like them but we don't really hang out as couples with other couples, and I hate when of my friends HAVE to do everything with their husbands. I mean, if both couples are really close, why not? But it shouldn't be something you have to do just because you are married or in a relationship!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
