DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 37 years. My wife likes to go out every day, seven days a week. I like to go out two to three days a week, and would to compromise and try the "middle" -- about four times a week.
My wife is very energetic and will not meet me in the middle. What do you recommend? -- BOB IN PLANTSVILLE, CONN.
DEAR BOB: How about this for a compromise: Tell your wife that she's welcome to go out by herself or with friends a few days a week, and that you will join her for the other three or four days. That way, she gets seven days out and you get three or four.
