In my opinion this is fine.

He's quite obviously married, you were stood right there, he hugged her like a friend because she probably is a friend on some level. The obviously don't hate each other.

He hugged a female friend in front of you. I'd be more worried if they seemed awkward as though it was forbidden, or if he avoided her to try and hide her from you.

It's usually a bad sign when a guy doesn't get on with his ex-girlfriends. That usually means he did something horrible and is capable of doing it more than once. The fact he's friendly with his ex's means he's not murdered any of their pets, cheated on them, and is generally a nice guy.

Chill out and imagine if you saw an old flame and your husband got all hot and bothered because you hugged him as a friend.

Jealousy is natural but you just have to laugh at it rather than let it consume you.

Good Luck!! xx
