My husband just told me he's meeting a girl he used to go out with (briefly) for a few drinks whilst he's on a business trip. He told me when he rang me earlier. AIBU to be slightly bothered even though I told him to have a good night. I worry slightly cos this girl who is very nice from what I know of her is always telling me how lucky I am and my husband is a good guy. The other thing is this girl has had a few problems in the past and my husband always says stuff like I feel sorry for her she got screwed over. Also it didn't help when he face timed me to talk to our children I looked like I'd been dragged through a bush after running around all day Confusedplease go easy on me I only had a baby a few weeks ago which is why I'm slightly uneasy about this

Hi all thank you for all your advice. Just an update. He rang me when he got back and I told him I felt uneasy the whole time he was out and I didn't like that part of me but I explained how I'm at home looking after two small children and I find it upsetting that he can go out with friends for drinks whereas me and him haven't had so much as a cup of tea together lately. The other thing I was upset over was I wanted to go with him on the business trip with the kids and visit one of the theme parks whilst he worked but he told me he would be busy doing stuff and we wouldn't enjoy it. I think I was more angry he made time to meet this girl when I got told he'd be busy working.

I must have missed something in the thread. With this explanation YANBU to be upset. I'd be upset. It's not really just about the ex but about everything to do with the business trip right? That's what it seems from your explanation now.

Glad you got the chance to explain to him. What did he say?

That is a bit shit OP no wonder it bothered you! Although I could already see how it would. Hopefully he put your mind at ease and can make it up to you FlowersCake
