Husband spends night round woman's house but they are not attracted to each other

My husband for a long time has spent Friday night around a couple's house, having a smoke and post-pub drink. He crashes on their sofa. Anyway... that couple split up a while ago and he still goes around, but now it is just her. He doesn't text me to tell me where he has gone, just does not come home. I told him I felt upset that he was spending the night around a woman's house, just the two of them. But he says, and I believe him it is purely a friendship and they are not in the least attracted to each other. Still, it just feels really wrong. I put it to him, if it was me doing this how would he feel? If I was spending the night around some man's house. The issue is he won't stop. As far as he is concerned it is a friendship and I should grow up.

I’d be going to the ex partners house to see how he feels about that.
if he’s leaving you at home with responsibilities while he goes out every Friday to another woman’s house, and prioritizes her over his own family on a weekly basis - I would be leaving.

They are 100% at it and please don’t listen to any of the “cool, laidback girls” that tell you you’re being insecure.

Even if it was innocent, he should have stopped going round the second you said you didn’t like it. It’s basic respect for the partner.

Time for you to spend the night with that make friend you haven't seen in a while.

Does he still go & spend time with the ex partner of the woman? It's shifty AF that he'd rather spend time alone with another woman than his own wife. I'd not be happy at all & I'm not a jealous person, that wouldn't sit right with me at all. Are you friends with her too or invited to their night in?
