Nothing too interesting to report.
I did start seeing a counselor for myself. I also straight up asked DH about it the other night. I said "are you in a relationship with your friend?" He said no. I was very calm and nobody got heated or anything. I'm still not convinced but at least now I will know he had a chance to come clean.
Things are fine with us on the surface but a couple of things had happened recently to make me still wonder about it. The good news is that DH has agreed to switch up the day based on my request. However, he went on a Thursday recently and took off work early to go. I asked him about that and he said "well I can't stay as late during the week." WTH?? He rarely takes off work early.
The other thing was I saw a text between them and DH said "I'm out for Friday, but Thursday works." The guy texted back "Thursday is better than nothing." Really? For someone you see every week?? Weird.
Today is his birthday. I was supposed to go to the Zac Brown Band concert tonight but don't feel up to it (DH had said I could go but didn't want to go himself). I figured DH would still go his friend's since that was the plan. However, he has now changed the plans to stay home so we can go out with DS. I didn't really expect him to change his plans since mine just changed yesterday but I'm glad he chose to do that one his own.

He said something like if he did he could have double the fun. He did say he thought I was joking when I have mentioned it in the past. I said it was weird that they see each other so often and until so late into the night. I don't know anyone, man or woman, that sees a friend as much as they see each other.

What did your therapist say about the 'bro' dates? Did he/she think it is as odd as we do? What is their recommendation for handling it?

that statement, that he felt compelled to add - would be a red flag for me
i would worry that that was him testing the waters of admission

I'm curious as to what your therapist has said about this also but I do hope she/he can give you some guidance on how to progress.

I know it's sneaky. However, why don't you look up the information tied to the text phone number of the person that he is texting. He could have it assigned to the name of John, but it's really Nancy's phone number. Call that phone number from a payphone or through Skype. Hangup when answered. You may consider doing it on a night he is with his bro date.
I did post in another of your posts. BTDT - no man will admit until there is conclusive evidence. Mine didn't until a few years later after when something personal happened.
Good luck, always go with your gut feeling. I wish I would have. Our story ended fine, we have been happily married 38 years, the one-night stand was 31 years ago. Yes, in the back of my mind I always wonder. He said after all the pain and grief it caused he would NEVER do it again.

I'm really curious what the therapist had to say. Does she think this is normal?
