Should women be able to talk to their best friends about problems with their marriage?

Question

My husband hates when I talk to my best friend about issues I have with him. He says that our marriage is between us & all issues should be discussed just us. Problem is he's the type of man who "is always right" so talking to him about issues I have with him just causes more problems because he doesn't see why I am upset.
I'm 36 weeks pregnant & so fed up with how he acts & treats me. 
He goes out every weekend 5 weekends in a row. I say something to him about it & his response is to get shitty & say "okay well I guess I'm not allowed to go hang out with his friends & I'm just a bad guy"
He doesn't understand that I'm tired of being left at home all weekend while he goes out & gets drunk. 
If it continues after my sons born... I'll have no but to leave him. I won't raise my son by myself while he's "out with the boys"

Answer

I feel like it depends on what it's about.
Something minor, share it with her if she's trustworthy.
But, if it's not minor, keep it in your marriage. She doesn't need to know everything. 
It's basically downing your husband to your friend and you shouldn't down your partner.
My opinion.

Answer

eff that. i talk to my best friend about everything!! i know she doesnt repeat it and she is my ride or die... MEANING she will be there even if he isnt! so hell yeah, the relationship I have with her is very important to me and I will tell her anything and everything.

Answer

I talk to my girlfriends, but I never smack talk my husband, ever. It's disrespectful I feel. I keep our matters mostly private. It would have to be a BIG deal to share anything that happens within my marriage that would at all reflect badly of my husband. It would have to be a HUGE argument that I needed outside reflection on. In 10 years, I'm going to say that happened 1 time, seriously, that's it.

As far as how often he goes out with his friends, yes it needs to be discussed. Instead of being accusatory, you need to tell him how it makes you feel and your concerns. Then you need to set boundaries you both agree with to prevent future arguments with the understanding that the topic can be revisited if needed. This is just basic problem solving. Don't do it angry. Just talk like adults. Do it now before baby arrives because you will need him to stop disappearing and pitch in.

Answer

you should be able to talk to your bff or family about what you want. but you need to remember when you do that sticks with them. even though you may move on they will still be in that moment about the negative moments you say and will bring it up again when you are past it to get an update. id say you are better off speaking to your husband about your problems together. but getting advice isnt always bad.

Answer

I always speak with my husband first. If I'm still upset about something, I'll go to my friends but honestly going to a friend can just fuel the fire. You're likely to resolve it if you speak directly to your s/o first. You're likely to be more pissed if you speak to someone else first.
Just like any relationship or friendship, if someone has an issue with me I'd like them to talk to me first instead of behind my back.

Answer

How does he know what you talk to her about?
