AIBU to my partner by meeting up with a man I know via online dating?

I've been in a relationship for over a year very happily. I met a man I get along well with via online dating. We are planning to meet at the weekend with our kids who are similar ages. Although nothing romantic has happened between us I can't help feeling it doesn't sit quite right given we met via a dating app.

You know the answer

Thanks for all your responses. I've spoken to my partner about it. He says there's no issue at all but thanked me for being thoughtful. I've said if he can't make it this time, I won't make the arrangement without him in future. I hope this is the right answer. It just didn't sit as respectful to me

That depends on what he said when you told him. You didn't tell him? Then yes, very very unreasonable
Like you didn't know

Does your DP know you met him on the dating app, or just met him as someone you were already 'friends' with? I think if it feels wrong, I wouldn't do it?

Theres nothing wrong with having friends but if I knew my dp would rather come, I'd assume there was a degree to which they felt uncomfortable. Since you also clearly feel uncomfortable, is it worth it, would be my thoughts. It sounds like more bother than it's worth for someone you get on alright with and occasionally meet.

If your dp knows it all and is fine with the context of it then as others have said, technically it's completely fine isn't it. Is there more to this though, do you still think him attractive, is he single, do you think that he hope's it were more etc

Make the call based on what you thinks best OP, without more info it's hard to call. Just because you can do things doesnt always mean you should though.

Hazell42 I did tell him and he's been invited from the off. I've spoken to him about how he feels about it.
