Your playing with fire buddy.

Gotta go with RTR on this one, man. Walk carefully, or you'll wreck a good thing. If you make it a public meeting, it'll be so much easier to tell your WIFE (cuz she may as well be) about it.

sense.

See the nuance?  What I think is the real issue here is that he never bothered to close the proverbial wound re: his ex.
What I think is wrong with your pov is you'd rather go for his jugular for having to walk the fine line between pleasing both the ex and present girl, and not pissing off either (with priority to his present girl of course), rather than admit he's actually trying to be fair with himself and his close ones.

neilsen... I don't lie to my wives/girlfriends but then..

I have a history of not staying married or in relationships.  

It boils down to.... how low are you willing to go?

What are you willing to do to get laid by the one you are with right now or... to keep her around.   Neither of those things is worth lying for.  

You wanna screw someone else?  do it.   But don't lie about it.  Sheesh... you act like a woman all secretive about it because you don't want to take chances... you want the security of who you are with but think you may be missing out on something.... something what?   Like some romance novel?  

make the choice and then don't whine about it and don't lie about it.

from a logical, reasonable and ethical standpoint you are absolutely right.
nothing to feel guilty about.  you've informed her(the most important thing), and also received her "OK" to go ahead (whether she means it or not)

unfortunately women aren't generally familiar with either reason or logic, and acknowledge no statute of limitations on offenses real or imagined.

in other words, no matter how "OK" she says or possibly even is with this at this time, it doesn't mean it won't be thrown in your face down the line.  in fact I can all but guarantee she will.  probably in some completely unrelated fight 20 years down the line.

I look at it about the same as Laz.  I don't have the time, energy, or inclination to bother making up cover stories or hiding facts.  it's much easier to just be up front with what you intend or have done.

as a side bonus, I've found that often a complete disclosure of where you spent the weekend, and exactly what you were doing -along with the promise to repeat it again next weekend if you hear much more about it- will often stop most of the complaining.

so if you are not contemplating cheating on her.... what's the problem?  Are you saying that you girlfriend/fiance is so jealous that she would dump your butt if she got wind of you having a meal with a friend?

The choices now get even easier... simply tell her you are going to do it and she leaves you then you are way better off...  good ridance.

Even a holy man like you airhead has lied to your wife.


I may have lied in the past to my wife/girlfriend/best friend(she fits all 3 roles), but I've always eventually come forward with the truth...such as the 1.6 carat, VS1 H-color rating diamond ring that she is getting tomorrow night for our 15th wedding anniversary. :D

It's not even hard to imagine that she's busy right now looking up the numbers of old boyfriends and chatting up some guy she can go to lunch with (while letting you know about it, of course). In fact, you've pretty much given her an excuse to follow up - guilt free - on any flattery she receives down the line.

My take -- the only way to salvage this right now is to say it was part of pre committment jitters and pop a ring on her finger :) (smiley, but not REALLY joking.)

A ring that size and quality would cost at least 10 grand.
