Ahh -- newlyweds. Don't they make you giggle a little bit sometimes? They're just so naive and in love and totally have their heads in the clouds. But then again, most of us did too at one point or another. That's part of the fun of getting married, right? Carrie Underwood tied the knot with Mike Fisher a little less than two years ago, and they're obviously still enjoying the honeymoon period.
She must be deliriously blinded by love (gag me), especially since she went ahead and gave Mike a major hall pass in her new Glamour interview.
Carrie gushed over how amazing he is and how much she trusts him and all that good stuff, and then went on to say:
I don’t have to worry about Mike. I don’t think twice. He’s going out? I don’t care; it doesn’t bother me. I don’t bat an eye.
OMG. I can't help but feel a little bit bad for her, because she probably has no idea she just gave her husband a free ticket to party it up with the boys (and do God knows what else) for the remainder of their marriage. Because if she ever so much as questions him about what he is up to or where he is headed, he can throw her words right back in her face by saying, "Oh c'mon -- I thought you totally trusted me, doll!"
Don't get me wrong, it's all well and good that Carrie has so much confidence in Mike and that she's certain he won't engage in any sort of bad behavior. But did she really have to throw in the bit about not caring one bit if he goes out? Because something tells me if he's suddenly M.I.A. every single Saturday night after they have a couple of kids down the road, she's not going to be quite as lenient with him. Can't you picture how their future phone conversations will go down once kiddos enter the picture?! (I'll try and contain my laughter as best I can.)
Good thing for Carrie, she's got some time to ride the newlywed wave with Mike before he gets a hankering for a little more action. As you will hear in this video clip, they're taking things nice and slow when it comes to being a boring old married couple.
Do you let your husband go out whenever he wants?

Pathetic article.
Of course Carrie trusts her husband... he's heard her song... she'll take a bat to his truck! JK! I think that its completely normal for Carrie to "allow" her husband to have his freedom. The author of this article makes it sound like you shouldn't let your husband go out, or he'll take advantage of his freedom! My bf and I have been together for 7 years, and when he joined the fire department, there was a female at his station. A lot of the guys asked him "Is your gf upset/worried, there's a woman at the station?" Apparently a lot of wives/ gf were uncomfortable with this. My bf said "No! She doesn't care, my other job is a lifeguard where there's girls in bikinis walking around all day". He is also a flight attendent, where he stays in hotels with attractive women. I trust my bf because he has never wronged me, and he is a good person. It doesn't bother me he has these types of jobs, and it doesn't bother me when he goes out with his buddies either. He knows he has he freedom, as do I, but we respect each other and don't do anything to "lose" that trust.
christ. the past three blog entries i've read on this site have just oozed insecurity, along with marked bitterness. the way i see it, carrie underwood has a perfectly healthy relationship with her husband. this is how i am in relationships. unless a man gives me a definite reason to worry, im not going to do so! life's to short to be a paranoid bee-yotch. pardon my semi-french!
a hall pass is a free ticket to go sleep with someone else, NOT to go out and have fun with "the boys"
so yes, my husband IS "allowed" to go out whenever he likes, but thankfully his "going out" is golfing on saturday/sunday mornings with friends. =)
ETA: and even if EITHER of us wanted to go out with friends for some down time and drinks, we TRUST each other and would ENCOURAGE it.
why? because we both know the importance of catching a break, and we don't need to be with each other 24/7.
that doesn't make us naive or "love blind"
whoever wrote the article needs to learn a thing or two about security in herself AND her marriage.
My only requests of my husband when he goes out is that 1) He abides by our money rules (Over $50 we call and discuss unless it's necissities) 2) He doesn't, under any circumstance, drive drunk or allow someone to drive him around while they are drunk 3) If he comes home smashed, he sleeps on the couch, because his snoring keeps me awake and he constantly rolls over on me and is 100 lbs heavier than me so i can't get him off.
My husband travels all the time, and so, on the weekends he is bound to go out. The only times we've had a problem was when once he was out all day doing touristy things, but didn't call me at all that day. Not because he was cheating, but because he thinks it's rude to talk on the phone while with company, and since he was with a co-worker all day, he didn't call. I got over it because he apologized and I trust him. The other time was when he spent $72 on booze on our card rather than using his per diem and didn't let me know before hand, so when the money hit, I was pissed. But then, he apologized and promised to let me know before hand and I got over it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with TRUSTING you SO and allowing them to have fun without you. You may find that the more you let go and trust them, the less willing they are to do something that will end that trust and hurt you. If you're going to hold them on such a short leash, they're more inclined to not care about destroying something that isn't there.
My husband is a grown man. He goes out when he wants, and comes home when he wants, and I do the same. We also spend plenty of time together. Just because I don't watch him like I'm babysitting a five year old doesn't mean he is going to go out and do something horrible as soon as I give him permission to leave the house. Children need permission to do things, not adults. I married my husband becdause I knew he would be a good husband, and a good father. I know that when our little one comes in July, he'll be spending lots of time at home with us. You're just horribly pessamistic when it comes to husbands.
You're so over-reacting. She sounds like she has a HEALTHY relationship with her husband that she loves and trusts. She doesn't feel the need to control him.
If you feel like you have to monitor your husband's activities apart from you, you've got problems.
