Don't you think he should have dis cussed this matter with me first? I like his mother but I don't like this arrangement. His mother is ( person of means and, under the circumstances, I can't see that this is necessary. Plenty of. moth ers stay alone at night and make no issue of it. I might add that my husband is completely under his mother's influence." (A) It would have been fairer to you if your husband had dis cussed this matter with you be fore making arrangements But, as he did not you will be wise not to make an issue of it.

Not Being Fair Your husband was not being completely fair to you by making arrangements without your con sent. But, he doubtless thinks of these visits as emergency meas ures.
