Pickleball couples

So, how do people feel about their husband/wife playing in mixed double tournaments with someone else? My wife currently wants to play in tournaments with another guy who is admittedly better than I am. She says it's because she doesn't want to be mad at me when I mess up. This leaves me with a feeling of not only being rejected but also an uneasy feeling about her going off to tournaments with another guy. We are both about the same 4.0 level players. What's your thoughts?
