First, regarding clubs, I firmly believe once you have a significant other (more than a girl you "just date") you are done going to the clubs without her. You go to clubs to meet girls and if you're hanging out with your buddies you can do it somewhere you can talk at a less then ear-splitting level and not where the girls are partially clothed, even if it is just a nightclub and not a strip joint. That's just the way it is. You are inviting trouble going to these places without her and you should know that. And if your buddies are dragging you out to places you don't need to be, that would be a pretty good reason to not like them, although in reality she should be aiming her anger at you.

Now regarding getting along with your SO's friends, in my marriage my husband tends to like my friends, but not some of their husbands and that's a huge bummer. Thankfully here so many of the husbands travel that it's not unusual to go to dinner or whatever with 1/2 of a couple, but for parties, social events, etc. it really sucks to not be able to hang with both parts of a couple. However, it's one of the compromises you make to keep a marriage happy. And I've got WAY more friends than he does, so I don't really have to worry about the reverse. We'll see if that stays true once we move back to his childhood home.
