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.
