To think is this weird

Is this weird? Sorry it’s long I just don’t want to miss anything out.

I’ve been with DP for 25 years. We have three dc. Great relationship no problems. DP has a friend who has lived an hour away throughout our relationship. He goes to see him or he comes to see DP 2-3 times per year. They just go for a few drinks and get last train home.

I used to go now and again and have a couple of drinks, say hello etc and we’ve always got on well. 5 years ago friend got married and we were both invited to the wedding. Lovely day, met his new wife and she was really nice. Since the wedding I have not see wife again but we did add eachother in a book app as we have the same taste in books. We chat there most months about books and get on well. All good

last night DP told me he was thinking about seeing his friend. I said this was a good idea and seeing as I haven’t seen him or wife in a long time I might come and we can have a catch up. DP looked horrified and said ‘no don’t make it weird’ I said what do you mean? He said he’s my friend not yours and I think it would be weird you two coming.

A few things to add. Wife doesn’t usually go on nights out either because she’s messaged me before telling me she’s in whilst they are out finishing xx book. They are definitely out together as we get sent photos of them in the pub. I’ve never got the feeling friend doesn’t like me or doesn’t want me there before. If he goes out with his other friends I don’t usually go as most if them are single. Not a case of DP dancing wife or anything like that I don’t think she’s soooo far away from his ‘type’

is this weird? Or does he just want a night out with his mate?

I think you are making it something it’s not but it’s hard to say when we don’t know his character.
