My (36M) girlfriend’s (31F) birthday was this week. As part of the celebration, she was having afternoon wine and snacks with seven of her girlfriends. We had plans to go out later that evening with some other friends, I was to come by and pick her up.

The afternoon party was going long, and all the women were still there when I arrived. They were in the back yard and as I opened the door, one of them waved and said hi. They all turned around and I heard one drunk whisper, “is that Frank?” and another quickly replied, “no, that’s Jules”(giggles all around)

Glad it was already twilight because I flushed beat red for a few seconds but I did not skip a beat, just walked out kissed her hello and joined the group. It was very awkward for me but very liberating as well. All these women knew she had a sancho and knew that I know about him. How much beyondthat they know is unknown to me… It was all I could think about the reset of the night.

A day later I am still processing it.
