I mean, for you to state you would feel need to drop your girlfriend into convo, make excuses and leave. Are you fearful of something?
why?
Why bring up your girlfriend? I mean, sure, it may come up but it shouldnt come up as in a manner to suggest "I have girlfriend so I must not be here alone with you" which is how I read it.
Then to leave? In case you are seen? Or is it simply not appropriate in your relationship to be alone with a woman thats not your girlfriend? A little story:
I had an ex who i referenced earlier, we splt not long after I arrived here, who would happily tell me the company she worked for went to strip club, she was one of 2 girls in a 12 person party. Naturally, a man assumes horny drunk men swarming round his girl. I dont bite at this, I trusted her.
The following week, I was going to my bosses bbq. Thinking my ex was familiar with my bosses name, when I merely said I am going to Sammy's (not real name) bbq, she flipped. Sammy is 60 years old.
I can't be the only man who has been in a similar relantionship? Its happened more than once too. | | | | | Too many questions not enough time to answer. I have a client coming and I need to get my leather thong ready
In summary I can meet who I want when I want. My partner fully trusts me and I fully trust her too. Most girls can't resist my hotness and I don't like seeing them embaressing themselves which is why I make it clear that I am taken
Signing off
Hot Guy lol

From my angle-
If I go to an event I sure as hell would do my best to take my gal with me. Imagine if I go alone and only one female turns up then my line of action would be to exchange quick plesanteries, drop my partner in the conversation, remark that the event obviously won't be taking place and then split.
On getting home I would tell my partner that the event was a failure and that just one woman turned up.

I would so something similar. I would also mention that im engaged just to try and stop any thoughts (which doesnt guarantee anything i noticed) but i would stay and have coffee/drinks/whatever we are meeting up with. Just because people didnt turn up, that doesnt mean its going to stop me having a good night out
Although i agree with the part of Jordans post i highlighted

It's hard to tell, OP.
I see Panda's point, Kristanez made an observation that resonated, too. Jordan's post is lucid and logical (for once, sorry, Jordan)..I guess those are two poles, and just OP can see if there are other things that made her question, since the incident she wrote about on its own can be completely innocent.
How did she find out, too.. If her OH told her, was it some kind of maneuvre to make her react or provoke? Or was he just being honest and open? If so, why post it here..unless having him read it here is the whole point of this thread

both sides needs to be more communicative so trust can be established.
it's stupid things like these that can fester and ruin a relationship. Just ask, but don't turn it into an interrogation.
you really shouldn't rely on a forum to conjecture whether your man/woman is a lying cheating dirtbag. You live with him/her.

I am back and got some time to waste. Leather thong was too tight and difficult to take off so had to use a Swiss knife while stripping
Stripping jokes aside I firmly believe that people get the relationship they deserve. There are obviously exceptions but in general that is my POV. For example many of my acquaintances keep on ending with the same problems and with same type of partner relationship after relationship. It follows a pattern. | Quote: |  | | | I mean, for you to state you would feel need to drop your girlfriend into convo, make excuses and leave. Are you fearful of something? | | | | | Please don't project your issues or insecurities on me. You taking it too literally! I have been in a stable loving relationship for almost two decades so I am not one of those average guys who just ends up in bed with someone because they were too drunk or thought with their dick first. I have nothing to fear apart from wasting my time with some stupid chick who I don't even know.
If I am going to a group event then chances are I am going for the crowd and not some individual who I don't even know. So if only one chick turns up who I have no connection with then the event which I went out for was a complete failure. So ideally I would just leave. As I am not a complete prick I would make small talk with the woman, maybe even have a drink if she has a decent personality and is not a psycho.
That said I would mention my partner because I would not want to lead someone on. It's not like I am going to say "I am taken so don't even try" lol
It would be more like "So what brings you to Swissy? bla bla bla" Then on her asking I would say "I came here for my girlfriend many moons ago, no regrets still a top woman, love her to bits......etc etc".
I know many taken men who would pretend to be single or keep quiet just to get some play, my point was that I am not one of them. I was never desperate like most men I come across so maybe I was never normal. You might think I am loco but frankly I don't care too much
Jordan your ex story I did not fully understand nor can relate to it. I have never been to a strip joint because I was never interested in such places. Same applies to my partner. It's not the kind of places we like to hang in. If my job involved going there because everyone else was going then I would change jobs or just not go. Everyone lives by different standards and that is what I have set for myself. | Quote: |  | | | Then to leave? In case you are seen?

As far as being seen is concerned I never gave two phuks about what people might say. My woman trusts me and that is all that counts for me. That trust was not built on small talk (which is cheap) but on foundation of love, friendship, affection, sex etc etc. So things that have stood the long test of time.
I am done so maybe we should just get back to the OP.

Bosses BBQ: It's all in how you announced the intention to go to the bbq. "I'm going to Sammy's bbq" could be interpreted as "I don't care what you are doing." Or, "I'm going and not taking you." Was it a bbq that partners were invited to as well? In which case did you ask your partner if she would like to go as well? If it was actually a work event that was just for the bosses underlings, then did you explain that at the start?
I wonder why there are so many ex's around. |

The boss is more a friend and very hospitable so wasnt a work thing.
Her strip club venture was also with work, I wasn't invited to that, but again I wouldn't of flown to London for it. She had just started new job, I was in secondment, so she obviously felt it a good time to network with her team. I'm not sure she generally like watching women strip, despite Pandas wildly defensive essay.

There are many desperate women out there who grab the wrong end of the stick (no not that stick)  One can't be too careful.

Your relationship soulds pretty insecure if you need to go to these lengths.

Your ex could be a psycho but then you could have a history of being a cheating prick who was making her feel insecure. Normally I have noticed people feel insecure for a reason. Get on your carriage and get your ex to come on the forum so we can hear both sides of the story lol
