    No it would be going to cinema with a guy from work

    I wish you would actually do that, and report back to us your husband's reaction! He must be told that it's just the two of you though :) .

    Who you are attracted to....
    If you honestly don't think you are doing anything wrong, be honest with him. ..

    Not telling him the whole truth, is the same as lying.

    Why would you lie to someone who trusts you?

    Yeah why not, it is the cinema not the back of a van.
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    If he asks I would say, but otherwise he would get the wrong idea and I do just want friendship with this guy.

    No, you mean he would get the RIGHT idea

    You want the go ahead to go to the cinema with a guy you fancy, and you are prepared to lie to your husband to do it.

    You just said you would only tell him if he asked, in my book, withholding information, is the same as lying.

    Do you text this man?

    I don't see it as relevant as I want friends only.He gave me his number, not sure whether to text him. He hasn't got mine. He is on Facebook.

    Alrighty! You seem determined, so just go ahead! I don't see why you even asked for opinions.

    I'm sure it'll all end up being just fine. You will have gained a "friend", and your husband will have gained a divorce. Win - win! :)
