Jitsu training with the OH?

Been doing Jitsu myself for about 4 or 5 months, I love it

. I generally treat it as a bit of a boys night out.

The OH has said she'd be interested in trying it but seems to respect me for treating it like a boys night out.

I'm beginning to think I wouldn't mind her coming along now, but might feel a bit weird about inflicting pain on her.

So would you train at the same time as the OH?

Not my other half but I used to train with my female cousin. It feels a bit strange throwing them around at first but once you see that they're ok with falling/being hit it actually adds a healthy bit of competition to the proceedings

Dont be her partner if your worried. In any good MA club they should partner you with someone of equal size.

they generally mix the grades up as much as possible, at the moment there's lots of new starters so us "seniors" (lol) have to partner up with some of the newbies.

Partnered up with one girl who must have been 4' nothing, first time i've ever had to punch down

my wife and I trained together in Kung Fu... I got the distinct impression that she used the opportunity to work out any issues she had with me

However that did save on any of those moments (ie the most common start to any argument - 'you're in a funny mood')

My gf and I both train in the same MA, typically with different instructors but occasionally together and she can give as good as she gets.
