Hello ladies, This is something that has happened years ago & for some
reason it seems to be bothering me now once in a while & I don't know why.
It could be because dh & I had a few problems a few yrs ago & this one
here keeps poping in my mind. Its probably really stupid of me for not
letting it go, but is strange for I never thought about it & now I do &
can't figure out why.Anyway here is my problem. Yrs ago my dh & a few
of the guys went on a fishing trip up north,  7 hrs away fom here. The night
they went to the hotel he danced with one or two women I guess which I
 thought was wrong. We were only married 3 yrs then. But that isn't my real
 problem. He failed to tell my that he gave a strange women a ride home with
all the guys their too. There wasn't even no room to begin with cause their was
 6 guys to go home, so she sat on the hump,  in the  truck we had , cause she
said she wouldn't sit in the back seat with the other guys. He says he didn't
know her, but can't even remember what happened back then & why he offered
her a ride home. I find that hard to believe. After all, if this was a decent lady,
 why in the world would she even get in the truck with 6 known strangers in
the first place? He says she needed a ride home cause, she had no one to
take her home. Then why didn't she take a cab or at lease phone someone
 she knew to come & get her. I didn't find out till about 3wks after their trip
 when my nephew brought it up at our place & my hubby was suprised cause
he kept it from me. My brother was with them on this trip & he told him to not
say nothing about taking this women home. I found this very strange to believe
his story, cause he had kept this a secret. He even told me when they went he
couldn't call either , cause was no place to call, but then the boys decided
 to go to the hotels up there. I told him he should have called cause I was
 home with my 5 kids then & he could have called to see how we was here,
 but I guess that the way men are. We have argued about this a few times
& he still says he did nothing wrong, but yet is very vauge & says he don't
remember cause this is yrs ago but was sober & not drunk so why can't he
remember what really happened or maybe he doesn't want to hurt me, or let me down. I just wish I could forget it ever happened. We have been getting along
really good for the past few yrs, so I don't even know why I still continue to
bring it up.Anyway thanks for letting me vent & just wanted to know your
opinions on this & what do you think about this situation. I also told him if this
 was me I would never get in a truck or any vechile with even 1 man let alone
 5 men.
                                           Mary
 P.S.Anyone here have any problems like mine!

From what you have written, it was just a ride home by a bunch of guys  that had been out partying. The girl had probably had a few,too. I seriously doubt that  that there is more to the story.  This kind of thing can happen and it is foolish but innocent.
I think it is time to let it go.

Men and Women do some very foolish things, and not always with "evil" intent.  He doesn't say how old this woman was, and I know from experience that very Young or very Drunk  women will put themselves in very odd predicaments. 
 
It may be that after dancing with some of the guys, she felt they weren't strangers at all.  She was lucky they really were good guys and not thrill killers.
 
She insisted on riding in the front with your husband. She probably found him very attractive and may have made some inappropriate advances during the drive.  He would just be so embarrased by it, (remember even if he had been tempted he had an audience, so it follows that even if he weren't tempted he might not want to appear un-macho) so maybe he didn't discourage her too much.
 
I think  you should make up your own most acceptable scenario and stick to it.  That way  over a period of time, you will come to accept that as "the way things happened"  and you will be able to stop dwelling on it.   You could even begin to see your spouse as very virtuous and chivalrous, and most of   deserving of your Respect.

A more likely scenario is that she felt safer in front. One busy driving.
At least she had that much of her wits about her

Hi Mary,  I can totally relate to what you are saying and I must admit chuckled a bit at what you have written (not because I am making light of what has happened to you but because the almost exact same thing happened to me.) Years and years ago (I too had not been married long) my husband and his mates did the same thing - they had gone off for a day to watch car racing and returned home really late that night -. they too picked up a young lady - in this case a hitch hiker - to give her a lift home - my husband never mentioned it for about about three days - scared I would go ballistic - but he did tell me and I wasn't too pleased either - what sort of girl hitch hikes and gets in a car full of strange guys - anyway about two weeks later one of the other guys wives found out and was really angry accusing them of all sorts of things - she even had a go at me because I already knew about it.  Bottom line is - my husband told me it was very innnocent - and so I let it go - after all 5 guys and one girl - she'd have to have been a real tart for any funny business to have gone on.
Now years later (see - we women NEVER forget )  if I asked him about it he would probably have absolutely no recollection at all- men seem to remember different things to women.
I would say he kept it from you because in his heart he knew you wouldn't like it - but sometimes when guys get into a group they act like kids - even if they don't agree with something they will go along with it so as not to lose face in front of the 'boys'.
As for not phoning  I don't know about other guys but my husband is the same - never thinks! 
This happened to you years ago - if I was you I would try my hardest not to dwell on it - men do things innocent in their eyes - annoying in ours.

Mary I agee with these ladies here. Men tend to forget things Women never do.  She probably felt safe with your husband and nothing did happen. If this is the only time he has kept something from you I would say try and forget it. It has never happened again and the reason he didn't tell you is that he didn't want to hurt you. Take a deep breath and keep going. You have him and he does love you.
Hugs
Dilly

Time to let go hon after all he came home did he not?
If she was single or he had any ideas, he would not have found your front door, Also there were other guys there and she was sitting on the hump usless he was a contorsionist I can't see what he could so.

Thanks again Ladies
            for all your input.  I just needed someone to talk
            to over this one, as I did not want to upset my kids.
            Thank god I do watch Dr. Phil, cause some of his
             advice he has to other couples, kinda relate to me
             so I have learned from that also. I just wanted some
            other opinions on what you all thought. You all have
           help me & I sure am grateful for all your thoughts. I
           just hope I can let it go & forget it once & for all. I know
           years ago when we went to that same area for our
          daughter in laws graduation from collage , I never even
          thought once about it when I was there. lol I must have
          been too busy then to think about it. lol Then for some
          strange reason, it came back like a flash & thats all I
           dwelled on for a time & I can't explain why! So I just
           hope now that can I forget about it & leave it in the past
           where it belongs. I am now looking forward to our all girl
           trip in July with my daughter, daughter in law & her mom
           i n the Dominican Republic for a week. None of us has
           ever gone alone like this before, so we should have a blast.
            Anyway thanks again for all your input & I sure do
          appreciate all of your advice.
 
                                                         MaryLou

I hope you can let it go Mary because it really does sound innocent. If you still have doubts or issues talk to your brother about it but leave poor DH alone. Its sounds like it was nothing and he was just concerned that you would get upset like ended up doing anyway.
