My spouse wouldn't let me join a dinner he had with his friend

My SO is going out to dinner at 8pm with a women he used to work with, he didn’t really ask me about going, just told me he was.I asked if I could go and take our toddler, and all responded with was “Well she’s vegan so it’s limited options and I plan on going late”.I just find it kind of rude and he also has a lot of photos of her on his cell phone, even before we met. He was her musical engineer because she’s a smaller actress in LA and said they have a close relationship because of that. But still, I can’t help but feel like I’m a secret or that he doesn’t want me to ever be included. Plus, an 8pm dinner sounds more like a date to me.

Y’all need trust! If your man can’t be trusted to meet up with an old work colleague for food without you reaching for divorce papers I think he’s had a lucky escape if you do leave him

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. My spouse wouldn't let me join a dinner he had with his friend

Definitely something to think about

Yeah Ok…Wouldnt be me…

Uh that’s a nope for me!! Not saying he’s “cheating” BUT it sounds like it may be his intent or something he wants to do and maybe she doesn’t, either way it’s shady AF and I would and could never be OK with that💯 I would go anyways and bring your toddler, maybe this girl doesn’t even know you exist or your toddler! And if you guys don’t drive together ( I wouldn’t drive with him anyways, I would just show up unexpected and unannounced ) go anyways! Get dolled up, let him know you aren’t playing around!

I think you should go with your gut. Shit would absolutely hit the fan if my husband tried taking another woman out for dinner. My husband would never even try that, it’s disrespectful and borderline cheating. I don’t care what your husband says his relationship is with this woman… it’s not right and I don’t trust it. The pictures on his phone and the fact that he didn’t include you are all HUGE red flags.

If your spouse can’t take you then that’s a red flag. I wouldn’t stay with someone that wants to go out by himself with someone

Sounds like they may have had a fling in the past and they are looking to reconnect. Parenting can be challenging on a relationship. Often times people loose who they are and just want to feel like them selves again. Of course no reason at all to do anything shady but if he had nothing to hide he could have totally invited her over for dinner and had vegan options for her. So everyone could get to know each other. I would just ask him if they have a history and tell him that it makes you a little uncomfortable because you have not met her before and would like to meet her and get to know her a bit more before your comfortable with them doing late night dinners without you!

Of course you are a secret. He’s dating that woman. Your whole post is red flag after red flag. Don’t be naive he’s cheating.

if you needed to “ask,” you should have taken the hint.

8 PM is usually drinks & maybe an appetizer, not really dinner. totally not appropriate for a toddler anyway.

so you always feel the need to tag along?

Get over yourself. He’s not your pet he can have a work like. Not just that but not all restaurants are child friendly and working with her in the future could be a lot of money. When you work in that industry you would know my soon to be husband does and I did because going back to uni. You do not need to be included in every aspect of his life.

Oh no honey!!! There is no way in hell my man will have pictures of other females in his phone besides the ones I know are friends and family!!! And as far as that diner went and I’m not invited!! That would’ve been it!! Rude is just one thing to name… sounds like you need to get rid of this one, he seems to be interested in her more than a close friend! Bye :wave:

:triangular_flag_on_post: yeah I would follow his ass without him knowing and set myself in a good spot and watch it all unfold. I’d leave my toddler w a family member or a friend and I’d follow. I would also record it so when he try’s to go back and deny it you can tell him that it’s all on video.

I can understand not wanting to take toddler, but I would need a valid reason why I couldn’t go. Or it would be a negative ghost rider
