I need adult opinions. Would you be mad...what would YOU think?

I need ADULT opinions. Would you be mad...Is this ok?: My husband and I have been married 2 years.We've been together for 3. This sounds crazy but we have a terrific marriage BUT Im still trying a bit to get over his past mistake that occured PRIOR to asking me to marry him. I was about 99% Over it when this little thing occured. Im a bit gun shy, he cheated on me just before he asked me to marry him although we were exclusive. He cheated in April, asked me in June. 1 week after we were married I found out that a baby from the little mistake wasd born 1 week prior to our wedding. He said to me and his mother while in tears that he knew he would have to tell me yet didnt want to unless forced because he thought I would leave ( good answer buddy# We now have his little girl all the time, shared with the mom, for the benefit of the baby. # We are over 40 so kids are no problem, he didnt have any of his own)Thats the past. Other than that little shocker that we had, we have had a wonderful marriage. We do everything together. We talk until all hours of the night, text all day while working ect and are always laughing with each other. He is sorry for what happened. He has stepped up to the plate to do the right thing with his daughter and to make sure my fears are diminished. Ok: He has guy night every wed, no big deal but its wed. Monday he had guy night with his friend "john Doe" came home at 10pm. Ok, no big deal but he kept wed night but said he'd be home around 7:30, i thought, "Thats better" at least we can do dinner since he was gone Monday. Wed at 7:30 I texted him, are you on your way home, Im thinking dinner around 8pm. His friend John Doe who lives an hour away had decided to meet up with some woman he knew from years past near our home. Hubby says, Im making a quick stop at @@ bar to meet John Doe and his new girl friend who lives here in town, wont be late. Now Im mad, that 2 nights ditched for dinner. 30 min later I send another text explaining that Im not happy about it, he was just with him Monday and Im ditched for dinner twice. 45 min later I call him. I ask him who hes with. " John doe and his girl "friend" from way back" Is that ALL? is there anyone else there? ( My past paranoia) well....um...we're saving you a seat come on down he says. WHY would you be saving ME a seat when I never told you I was coming and was waiting on you to come home? " Well...ummm" At that point I asked again...who else is there, just you 3? hullo? anser me...Um well..no...she brought a firend too. I blew up. I tell him fine see you at home but instead head to the bar where there they are, hubby, John Doe and 3 single women. I blew my stack. walked over, grabbed the pitcher of beer, dumped it on hubby and walked out. Saved the screaming for home. We never yell or fight by the way. He swears up and down and in tears that he didnt know these women would be there. So why did John Doe need you to be his wingman? Why didnt you leave when the women "showed up"? bad decisions Id say. How did it look for me to show up and see you, Johnm Doe and 3 single women outside on the bar patio drinking and laughing. Am I not supposed to be very angry here? 45 yr old married men do NOT need to meet their single buddies at bars with girls! . Please be detailed for me. I know we can all jump to conclusions so I'm trying to stay rational here. I'm STILL angry. HE said he didn't know the women or their names and they had showed up as I was on phone with him. When he hung up phone went back to table and they were there. Friends of this other girl. I don't care my point is that it MAY be true however you didn't need to meet john doe and his girl "friend" as a 3rd party then stutter whebn I ask you who else is there and stammer "well she brought a friend with her". WHY. He said John doe called said " I hope I didn't cause problems".

Now, dont type back and say OMG dump him. We are married, cant just dump a house & kids that fast and I love my husband, HOWEVER...I want to make sure of how I reacted ( which HE said considering the ppast he did understand totally)

I guess I qualify to answer because I'm well over 40.  LOL.

That is a tough one.  I don't think there is a pat answer.  The question is - is he still in love with you and does he still want to stay married?  I assume you are still in love with him.  This situation requires sitting down together when you are CALM... nothing will be gained by screaming at each other.  You need to tell him that you need to TRUST your partner, and his behavior, even if it was innocent, took some of that trust away.  It could be regained, but he has to understand that "appearances" do matter.  Talk to him; try to find out if he is saying the truth.  You can't force someone to respect or love you.  If he is straying, I'd say there is nothing you can do to "make" him stay.  Sit back and see how he acts.

Oh, no he certainly doesnt want to leave, that never crossed his mind. He says he's so happy with me its not funny and he's sorry BUT....put all that aside. Was it right for him to be there when he KNEW I was upset over it? Then why didn't he just come home? Worse...WHY..when I asked him who was there and were there any other women there did he have a hard time admitting it? Thats the real questions I think.

Come up with an agreement for the future... he might STILL not know how he SHOULD have handled it.  Maybe say something like, "let's agree that if either of us finds ourself in a position where the other person would be hurt - if they found out about it - let's agree to TELL the other person about it immediately."  But you have to trust him too... all of us are social creatures, and he will undoubtedly find himself in the company of beautiful or tempting women... you need to be confident in your relationship so you are not threatened by them.  MOST men will always "look" but not act on it.  You need him to be free to look and be a normal man, as long as you are confident that he will always come home to you.

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

It doesn't sound right. If there is nothing going on, he shouldn't have trouble telling you the truth. I think he is still with that woman or others. You would be surprised how easy it is to cheat and still text and call you. There are endless possibilities. 

 

Tell me what doesnt sound right....

oh wait, just reread your post. He didnt know them, in fact he had to get directions to the bar / grill, had no idea where that was either. His friend is from an hour away doesnt know anyone here except for this woman he "went to school with " and she had brought a friend with her. Hope that helps
