Agree with Green-Moo here...

If I have plans like going out I discuss with my wife first. Likewise, I like my wife to discuss her plans with me too.

Its not a permission thing more a courtesy, is that ok with you? sort of thing.

Since we've got a child though, if one of us goes out it means the other has the childcare so I guess its only fair to do it this way.

I would be hurt though if my partner said she was going out regardless of what I thought. (assuming I had a good excuse for her not doing what she wanted to do).

It is a thin line though. If husband is saying no you can;t go out for no apparent reason this is different to saying I'd rather you didnt or its awkward because of abc etc.
