[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that he was honest makes this OK in my opinion.[/quote]

Why do you all assume her husband is being honest?  I've known a few cheaters in my time, and the most successful ones were the ones who were as close to honest as possible ;)  They told their wives everything, except the one little crucial detail...

That way, if the wife/girlfriend questioned it, she seemed like paranoid psycho.  He seemed like just a straight-up, honest guy.

True story.

Disclosure:  I lived with a boyfriend who had drinks with a female colleague.  He told me about it.  All platonic!  Something in my gut didn't trust it, but he made me feel like I was paranoid.  After we broke up, it came out that he had been cheating.

OP, you don't have to keep your husband on a tight leash, but don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if it seems out of the blue.  I would just casually ask, "Oh, did you run into her somewhere or something?"  I'd want to know why/how it was initiated.

All that said, I would never stand in the way of a woman networking with my husband for work-related stuff.  But you can network by asking someone to get coffee, et cetera.  As a professional woman, I would never ask a married former or current coworker out to drinks solo unless something dramatic just happened (i.e., someone just got fired or there was a big announcement or merger or something that required some serious venting).
