No that’s not what I’m saying at all. Of course a person should respect their partner.
I’m not sure I can explain this clearly but I’ll try:
If someone comes up to you and says, “hey you wanna come back to my place and f*ck” and your response is, “out of respect for my partner, no” a lot of people will interpret that as, “I’m interested and ONLY saying no because I’m seeing someone” which isn’t really showing respect for your partner is it?
I have several female friends that I meet up with on occasion for a bite or drink and a catch up. Likewise my wife has a couple of male friends she will go for hikes with and have dinner after. For us it’s not a big deal as we trust each other. With your wife, do you think she is actually having an affair here? Or does she not like this boundary and instead of using her words like an adult, is just trying to slip it by?
No problem, we all need a little shake up from time to time.
This. Own it.
Yea it's fine there is a lot to read if I'm honest I just wanted to check I'm on the right page.

That’s what we in the real estate business call a “material disclosable item”.
