My new husband wants to go out without me. I have no desire to go out without him. We have no kids.?

I discussed this with him before marriage n even though we argued he agreed it wouldn't be an issue and that there is nowhere he will go beyond work without me. Now a few months into the marriage the argument comes up. It is more of a hypothetical argument he hasn't said hey I am going out it starts with something like a family memb or friend may ask me to go out with them and I say no thanks. He says why don't you go? I explain I have no desire to go If I wanted to go out I wouldn't have got married n secondly if I did say gp to a movie n lunch with a friend I am afraid he will want to go out while I am Gone and I would not mind if he n a friend went golfing or fishing or hung out n play video games but his friends even though they start out with something simple as that almost always end up in a bar or at a party. I kno cause i with them! I trust him not to cheat but I feel it is disrespectful to our marriage n plain out wrong for either of us to be in a social setting where there is alcohol and single people without the other one. Not only does alcohol cloud judgments n bars and parties are the most likely place people put themselves in situations likely to tempt or cause problems plus I think the pure presence of either of us at a bar or party without the other is disrespectful to our marriage! First I have no desire to do anything with anyone besides him he is my best friend n I like being joined at the hip! However , if he must have the need for some male bonding, I told him if we could compromise and set some guidelines I could live with it. My offer is: we make plans ahead of time so neither of us is "left" at home pondering or bored. For example: next Saturday during the day he goes golfing and hangs out at his married best friends house n they play video games and maybe go out to eat while I go shopping and to a movie. But he says I am trying to control him and he can't promise they won't end up at a bar. Help! Am I being unreasonable or is he?
