I think I would let her under the conditions and reason you describe. There was a time I would have got all defensive but considering it would be just to let it out one time and the fact that it is not emotional attachment involved then sure.

Or would you refuse?
I don't "let" my husband do anything - he decides for himself what he will and won't do.

However, I know out of love and respect for me he would never do this

I would give him my blessing if that's what he really needs to do, but I would move on. In a ltr, I do not share.

I'd tell her to go ahead and help yourself and enjoy it. Knock yourself out with him.

Sure, and while they're at it, they could also pick me up a few million from the bank. Sure, it wouldn't be legal, but hell, since we're on the immorality kick, why not go ahead and rob a bank? Oh, and I'd have her pick up a new car too.. mine's kinda getting beat up.

Seriously, why would one jeopardize a good relationship for a meaningless fling? If my ex ever even thought of anything like that, I think I would have disowned her.

Haha, I once told my wife I'd leave her in a hot flat second for Jennifer Aniston. I instantly told her I was joking, of course, and she laughed and said she knew I was.

However, that night every single one of her beloved People magazines disappeared mysteriously into thin air...

My wife is only allowed one night stands with me, and vice versa.

I would let him, but only if that implied that I am free to do the same next time. I would probably never do it, but what's fair is fair.
