[Blindtlk] question

[Cindy Handel]

If your friend is always around, maybe it's just that your wife thinks he's 
taking advantage of the transportation situation.  Even though an offer is 
made, we have to be careful that we don't expect "free" transportation all 
the time.  Does your friend ever pay for gas or at least offer to pay for 
it?  I think you should talk with your wife and find out what suddenly set 
her off, and also talk to your friend and explain the situation.  If helping 
to pay for gas would ease the situation, suggest that to your friend.

Hey all,
This is Corey Cook.
I am looking for a little input from some other blind folks.
As some of you know I am married to a sighted wife.
We currently live in an apartment complex here in SC that has several other
blind folks here. The reason all of the blind ones are here is because we
all work for the same company.
I am really good friends with one of the guys I work with and ever since we
moved in here he has been a big help to me and my wife.
   We have also helped him a lot since we have been here. You know asking
him if he wants to go with us to walmart and out and about when we go out.
Lately we have cut back on taking him out a lot because it was getting on my
wife's nerves that he seemed to always be with us when we went anywhere.
   I can understand that because it is nice to just have couple time now and
then, but tonight something happened that really kind of got under my skin.
My wife and I had planned to go and see a movie tonight, and my friend asked
if he could ride to the theater with us so he could see a different movie
that was playing at the same time.
   Lets just say that my wife threw a big fit, and got mad that he wanted to
ride with us. I did not see a reason for a fit or any anger, as he did not
want to go to our movie but just wanted a ride so he could see a movie also.
   As a blind person I did not think there was anything wrong with this as
we were going to the theater and it cost like 14$ for cab fair, so why not
just let him ride in our car, and both movies were equal in length.
   So I am looking for thoughts, on this. I could have understood if he was
trying to crash our movie but it was just a ride.
   All of a sudden my wife has decided she does not like a person who has
been our friend ever since we moved here, someone who has loaned us money,
when I had not started working yet, someone who is always willing to help us
