>> 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
>> out with anything he can do.
