Last year DH attended his brothers stag in last Vegas. It was booked a good few months before the wedding and unfortunately since covid the wedding has been postponed.

I met an old male friend today who commented on how DH must have had a great time without me in Vegas with the boys. I guess it was the insinuation of what I don’t know won’t hurt me.

I have always fully trusted DH and never had any reason to question him. Nothings ever concerned me before but for some unknown reason I feel really upset and worried. This friend didn’t attend the stag and isn’t in contact with DH.

YABU - it was a daft attempt at humour or
Yanbu - trust your gut and ask DH?

but he does have a history of cheating. He’s on his 3rd marriage

Well there you go - it says more about your "friend" than anything else.

It's that smug assurance that all men are like himself and the underlying message that you're stupid and naive to believe otherwise.

It really was a dickish comment with a very weird undertone.

You have just described 90% of male humour.

It was an utterly common joke deployed by loads of men when that sort of opportunity presents itself.
