Hanging out with a male friend

As a backstory, three of us (2 guys and me), became very good friends while doing our masters. It was a part-time course lasting two years, we all worked full time and our offices were nearby. Over many years we did so many things together: lunches, drinks, dinners. Very nice guys and really good friends. Then I took a long maternity break, Covid happened and one of them moved overseas. Now that’s just two of us working around the corner and we have resumed catching up but now I am thinking would I be happy for my DH to catch up with his one female friend a lot…This friend is married, I am married, no interest in each other.
I didn’t feel odd catching up all the time when it was the three of us but now going for lunches, drinks the two of us…I don’t know. Maybe I am being silly and should not worry about it. I tell my DH when we meet us and he knows him too.

I spend time with male friends one on one regularly. DH has a very good female friend he sees once a week or so. As we have all managed not to fall onto one another’s genitals in over 30 years, I can confidently proclaim that going out for dinner with a man doesn’t necessarily translate into feelings/sexual tension/actual shagging.

Spare a thought for bisexual people. They too can have friends without wanting to hop into bed with them all.
