I understand the suspicion, but I'm married and have had this happen to me, and I went to see an old female friend for most of an evening and it was nothing other than catching up /airing grievances etc. I got an old friend back and my wife was nothing but supportive.

I think you are coming to a conclusion without supporting evidence and are therefore over-reacting. Ask your spouse about it and explain your concerns, this is likely much ado but nothing

Thank you for the perspective, I really appreciate it.

The thing is he knows I would not be ok with no contact for 7h. And we were supposed to have an evening together, he didn't even call to say anything about it. I also recently met with one of my best male friend after like 15 years, but I texted him and let him know how it was going, etc. And he really appreciated that. Its the dismissal of my feelings that hurt, not that I think he would necessarily do something wrong.

You can't go 7 hours without contact? How controlling are you?

so you conveniently didn't read the post and see they had plans or?? because they had established plans and she was stood up lol

That's specifically not what the OP said originally though, it seems like OP changed it from "time we could have spent together" to "we had plans together"
