Is this a confession?

Not sure but I suspect this is a bit of a silly one - best friend is convinced her husband might be having an affair although she has no proof and has not found any evidence. Her husband is quite an unemotional type and a bit of a workaholic, he comes home regularly at the same time every day but he has a bit of a thing about not being contacted whilst at work because he is so busy. I think this is fair enough although friend goes thro phases of interpreting this as him having something to hide yet at other times she thinks this is fine.
Anyway friend told me that they had a conversation they other day when she said (half joking) i know what you are up to / about the other woman and he replied "Mummy knows nothing". She has taken this to mean that there is something to hide but he has hidden it so well she would never find the evidence.
My immediate reaction was that she was over reacting. She is a bit hormonal at the moment, although I am being diplomatic about how I tell her that I think she does not have anything to worry about. Based on this alone am I right that she is over reacting or should I be taking this more seriously?

i think maybe the same as you, if he had said mummy knows nothing half joking, maybe he meant it in the term.. och your mum dosnt know anything about what shes talking about, shes being daft...??

i suppose if my other half had said that i would question him a bit more, but as far as the work thing goes and not contacting him, i think thats normal, no? i dont phone my other half at work, because.. he is busy!

i wouldnt think he was having an affair, but maybe your friend should ask him outright and see what he says ? x
