What is the proper protocol? Do you tell your significant other what you're doing and then do it without listening to what they have to say? Also, are you single?But it is asking for permission. If you say yes and then tell your wife "I'm going out with ...." thats a heads up. The people I know who have to talk to their wife first do it because she "may have plans" for them or she may get upset if she's not invited.To me it isn't necessarily permission, but a courtesy to sort of give her the heads up. I don't know too many successfully married people who just up and dip out without some form of communication. But most of NT wouldn't understand that I guess.
And yes, I use the "let me talk to my wife first" excuse weekly when door-to-door salesman come by. Works perfectly.
