I should have put this in the OP, we're engaged. Does that change things, or does that not really matter?

It seems like you guys are saying things are over already :(

Stop being such a pussy. If she wants to meet up with him, tell her you're going with her.

If she declines you know the answer to your question.

Edited for spelling.

that could either secure things or make it worse...
she could be seeing what shes missing...but i doubt it. you should be fine. just ccheck for interesting signs when she comes home...ask some questions without seeming too curious about what they did.

This isn't a real post ;) IF you were in a relationship for that length of time your answer would be an immediate 'NO'-thinking about thinking about posting a question on this forum would never materialize.

Yes, it makes a difference. To me, it is WORSE.

Question... do you or does she think it might be a little disrespectful to want to go out with another guy when engaged to someone? Or am I just weird... well, I know I am weird, but I mean EXTRA weird when it comes to respect, relationships and loyalty?

QFT.

Sorry yoyo, it's over.

A woman doesn't shop if she has what she needs.

I've always been of the mentality that if someone's going to stray, they're going to stray regardless...whether or not you "allow" them to.

In this situation, I'd just ask her how she'd feel about letting me to something similar. It honestly does sound a bit suspect, but she's her own person, and is allowed to do as she pleases.

You should tell her you're going to meet up with another girl (make her up if you have to) for dinner/lunch/whatever. Watch the sheeyat hit the fan.

I didn't really think it was "going out" when she first told me about it and then I thought about it later and got worried.

Does this sort of thing always lead to trouble?

I don't think she'd have a problem with that.

Do you think that's a sign that she doesn't really care what I do, or that she trusts that I wouldn't do anything to betray her?

If she doesn't have a problem with you meeting up with another woman, then that should tell you something.

ETA - She's playing you for a fool. Thinking you're so in love with her that she walks on water and you'd never do anything bad towards her. Meanwhile, she's planning her exit or at the very least, her backup plan.

Hi guys.

I've been going out with my gf for 4.5 years now and things are going great. We're very happy together and share a lot of interests. That said, she's been indicating that she wants to socialize with some other people sometimes. In particular, tomorrow she's planning on meeting some guy she met online.

It turns out this guy will be in town and she thought it would be cool to meet him. I'm going to be at work when they're planning on meeting. She hasn't mentioned anything about what they plan on doing once they meet other than going out to eat somewhere.

Should I be worried? Should I let her go? Please help me AT.

Is it this guy?

Ok guys... maybe I can get out of work early... tell my boss I'm sick or something and sneak out.

I know where they're meeting. What should I do?
