The answer

Among the wife's rights upon the husband is companionship with kindness, and this includes clothing, sustenance, housing, and good treatment, as Allah Almighty says: {And live with them in kindness}. Among them: that he be patient with her harm and bear her mistakes, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "No believing man should hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another." Among them: that he mention her with good and praise her, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The best of you is the best to his family, and I am the best of you to my family." As for him not going out with his friends except with her permission, this is not a right of the wife. It is incumbent upon both spouses to be patient, overlook faults, and endure each other for the continuation of life, as Allah Almighty says: {And do not forget graciousness between you}.
