DH being over friendly

Have NC for this just wondering what others would think. My DH cheated a few years ago with someone who came into the family as a friend. I left him for several months, then we decided to give it a go for the kids and obviously I forgave the cheating.
However the OW was classed as both of our friend, and used the excuse that we were going through a bad patch and that she thought we were 'over'
Anyway fast forward a few years, no other issues. Have moved to a new area and have become good friends with a girl I met at work. I know you can never be certain after infidelity but DH has also become very friendly with her, and tbh is acting in a similar way as he did back then - think sitting in the kitchen chatting for 2+ hours while I sit in the lounge, play fighting, etc. She is younger than me and I don't think she would actually do anything tbh, she is currently in a very complicated relationship with a total bastard and comes round a lot because she lives nearby and I think is lonely (her family are 2 hours away) she hasn't changed her behaviour around me at all.
I suppose what I am asking is AIBU to feel a sense of deja vu and feel that if my DH doesn't look at her that way (she is pretty and him thinking that wouldn't bother me) he is being a damn insensitive twat for being so over friendly? Considering what's happened in the past although I've forgiven him AIBU to expect him to be more careful how he behaves?
Just to clarify my DH is a very jealous person - he trusts me 100% to be faithful but would be fucking fuming if I was so friendly with a bloke - even his close friends of 20 years plus.

Does he Want your relationship to end? Because you said he knows you will leave if he does it again. This would be a perfect, cowardly way of him ending his relationship with you. He wouldn't have to tell you he didn't want the relationship any more.

Honestly? I don't know and I couldn't give two fucks about what he wants. As long as he remains a decent father to our DCs he can do what he likes in his personal life. I won't be keeping in touch with my friend when I leave the area, no biggie. I have my real friends back home and if I decide I want to date there's always tinder I've never tried OLD Grin

Good on you Emma!

Stand firm OP; there may be wobbles ahead but you stay strong. Good on you for handing him his cards. Don't waste your time on some vanity-filled manslag.

I am very, very impressed. Flowers

Whatever it is you have - strength, bravery, sheer determination or just you and your personality; I wish we could bottle it and hand it out to so many people on here
