Wife's Behaviour

** Posting here as original post was removed from AskIndia sub.**

Hi, Just seeking some thoughts on my wife's behaviour.

I (29M) have been married for almost 1.5 years to my wife (28F). We both work in IT and live in a tier 2 city.

Next Saturday, I have to go to a wedding in another city. She can't come because she has another engagement. Since it's a evening function, I will be back late, around midnight. But she says she can't deal with staying alone till that late at night and that she will get scared. We live in a gated apartment building with 24 hour security btw.

This is not the first time, same issue has happened during my office trips. For even an overnight trip, she had the same issues. I had to almost cancel my official trip utill we got a friend of hers to come stay with her.

I'm a fairly independent person and this behaviour of hers is literally bugging me.

What do you guys think about this?
