"Not even sure why he was going."

Wow max...you are really, um....well, you are a bit delusional.

Why would it seem weird that he would go out to dinner? Even though you said your D's thought it was weird, that doesn't mean anything. If anything, it just means that you and your H were suffocating each other during your marriage.

Going out to dinner with friends and strangers is FUN.....not all the time but once in a while.....its FUN...it should also be fun for you!

Honey...you need to get a grip. Your H isn't doing anything wrong.

And one more time, here's the 2x4....you repeatedly slept with your friend's husband and now YOUR husband is moving on....sweetie....maybe somehow you can still salvage your M, but maybe you can't. You have to accept this and lie in your bed. That doesn't mean you have to be happy about it. Go ahead and grieve the loss....but seriously, by now you should at least intellectually understand that he IS going to do HIS own thing now and frankly, you should be happy he isn't trying to sleep with your sister or something way more cruel to you.

Can you not be happy that he may be getting happy now? Don't take that wrong...but if you love him, you should be at least a bit happy for him and stop being so focused on how it makes YOU feel.

I'm so sorry to come across harshly. I'm just hoping that a light slap in the face will snap you out of your pity party! You really need to snap out of it, or else you are just making things worse for yourself.

Counseling, my dear! NOW!
