The last time we were out on a date I had a lovely huge long island iced tea on an empty stomach. The food took so long and the drink was so yummy I just couldn’t help myself from overindulging. Also I love that relaxed feeling the drink gives me. When I fell asleep promptly as soon we got home from our romantic date my husband was not too happy. He told me I am no longer going to be able to order any drinks when we are out on a date because I just can't handle it. We had a romantic evening planned without the kids. It did turn out to be a romantic evening when I woke up about two hours later, but he was plenty annoyed by then. Understandably too.

I guess I wouldn't be embarrassed if he reminded me in public that I couldn't have a drink. At least not with most of our friends. If it was a work colleague or certain relatives I might not be too happy. I doubt he would do it in front of someone like that. But if I did have the drink, especially if he reminded me before we went out not to order one I would be in a great deal of trouble. I really can't imagine being that brazenly disobedient.

But most of our friends would probably think there was nothing strange about a husband telling his wife how much alcoholic beverage she was allowed to consume. Most of our friends are very “husband is head of the wife” for religious reasons and so it would seem natural to them. They would probably think I shouldn't be drinking anyway or at least shouldn’t be getting drunk or tipsy so they would agree with his requirment.

I guess I would be embarrased if I was with a really liberated woman or couple and my husband told me what I could or couldn't do. I suppose I should be braver and stick to my own values. Yet it's hard to go against the social values of the society I live in.

Different in puplic
Everybody doesn`t have the same limits. That wasn`t the question, it was only an example. And yes, I feel different about things when others are around too. But you can`t always hide the kind of relationship you`re in. Either way, friends who are vanilla usually can`t figure it out. Let them think what they want.
