writes:My boyfriend met a sexy young flight attendant at a bar last year. She lives in another city and is 30 years his junior. He says he wants to hang out with her and her friend this weekend because he wants to try to set up one of his buddies (also 30 years their senior). He doesn't seem to understand why I am upset.....your thoughts anyone? Reply to this Question

 Oh what a good Samaritan of a friend. I vote for fishy. If your husband just wanted to set up his friend, he could simply give him the flight attendant's phone no, or viceversa.
I think you should call his bluff and say you'll go along too and meet the girls,it's always fun and revitalizing every now and then hanging out with the younger generation, and there's no reason you should not meet them too for drinks ,chats and playing Cupid.
Have fun seeing how he squirms out of it. I'd bet the girl does not even know he is married.

Ask the woman if she wants to meet his friend, and ask his friend if he can give her his number. They can manage on their own. He's not a professional match maker.
Or at the very least, I say you go along with them, but I understand if/why that may not be something you're interested in doing.

You are a couple and if he wants to hang it with 2 young and beatifull strangers , he should take you also, why not? If he has nothing to hide. If he wants to set up his young friend, then he cold just arrange blind date for them.

I think, let him go, and hold off saying anything about it. If it becomes a thing, you can always say something like you know his intentions are good, but you are feeling uncomfortable. Put the shoe on the other foot for him, roles reversed, would he feel comfortable.
There is something fishy to it to me too. I would definitely not like this at all, I do believe you feelings are justified. But, give it a little time, I think his honesty is a saving grace.
