Well, Dew honey, that's you and your hubby. Not everyone is like you and your hubby.
Well, sure - but doesn't everyone want to be with someone that they trust that much? But at the end of the day, everyone is different and people need to decide for themselves what they are and aren't okay with.
No. Only high tea, and then only in months that start with a J. Do your homework woman!!

I have a lot of female friends in relationships, and whenever we 'met up to catch up', dinner 'one on one' had never been an option (unspoken agreement). I'm smart and respectable enough to know, its just isn't the right thing, and my female friends feel the same way. Common sense, Yo! There are other means to catching up than dinner 1/1.
My husband has never had a problem with me having dinner with anyone - and I've never had a problem with him having dinner with anyone. We aren't disregarding each other's feelings.
well then we would never see you here with a post asking if you think it's ok to have dinner with your friend jim and whether your husband jack has a right to be upset.
not everyone thinks and feels the same way that you and your husband do. there are a lot of people, believe it or not, that are not comfortable with this scenario. i don't think it makes them right and you wrong or you right and them wrong. i think it goes back to every couple gets to decide what is and isn't "okay" for their relationship. i realize that i am in the minority but i am not a fan of opposite sex friends doing things like going out to dinner together. so in the OP's case, i wouldn't like it and i would probably say so. well, i know i would say so. i wouldn't say you can't go, because at the end of the day he would be in his right to do whatever he wanted to do. then i would have a decision to make whether this is the kind of relationship that i want to be in.
it wouldn't be about me being afraid that they were going to have sex that night. everything isn't about sex. to me, it's more of an intimacy thing. i just don't like to play with fire. but, again, i know that i am in the minority. and i don't care!!!

I never knew dinner was only for dates. That's too bad since I really like to go to dinner. It's the first thing I think of when I want to get together with someone.
Why would anyone want to bring someone else when they are catching up with an old friend? That's as bad as the people that bring spouses to class reunions when the spouse did not go to school there. You can say what you want but that shows a lack of trust to me.
