I have a question regarding mystery and GAL. My wife asks where I am going when I say I am headed out for the day. If she asks me with whom I am going and I reply that it is a friend, doesn't that leave another reason for her to NOT trust me? Last night, I reminded her that I would be out skiing today with a friend. Previously, she had asked who the friend was, and I told her a coworker. She then said I wasn't giving her much info. I had walked away after that.

Last night I told her I would be skiing with my friend, Jeff. I didn't want her thinking that I am hooking up with some other girl. Maybe I messed this up. Please let me know. My thinking is that she says she doesn't trust me and how can me planting seeds of doubt like this help when one of my goals is to build trust?
