I met someone through work a while back who is divorced with 2 children of similar ages to mine who, like me, is also alone a lot at weekends (my DH works long hours and often at weekends). We arranged to meet up for a picnic one Sunday, had a nice time, kids enjoyed themselves, saved us spending yet another weekend bored at home. Told DH about it (before and after) and he was annoyed because this someone is a single Dad. He?s in a new relationship and knows I?m happily married. I don?t fancy him, nor does he fancy me, we are just two parents who are after a bit of company for ourselves and our children on an otherwise dull weekend. At least that?s how I see it. DH hasn?t met him and is highly suspicious of his motives.
I don?t want to stop being friends with him (which is what DH would like), but nor do I want to get into a major row about this. Is my DH right to be so jealous? He says it?s not me he doesn?t trust but my friend.
Am I justified in feeling cheesed off do you think? Is he being as unreasonable as I think he is?
