β€˜If they have a plus one with them all the time, I feel that I can’t quite be myself’

Is it acceptable to bring partners to meet ups with your best friends?

Writer Kate Lister joined Nuala McGovern on Woman’s Hour to discuss this after she wrote an article for the i paper which said: β€œI firmly believe that anyone who turns up to a girls’ lunch with their husband in tow should be arrested, immediately”.

Kate explained to Nuala that if someone brings a partner with them, it completely changes the dynamic and she feels she can’t be herself properly.

What do you think about this?
