I am well respected iny field and earn just under him, about 120 k to his 150k. I can be forgetful and disorganized about pur personal life ( last minute birthday presents kind of thing) but I always pull through and with good spirit. I think I am a good catch. I am spirited and love to have fun. My friendships are long, many friends over known for over a two decades, and very jovial.

I think it's oversight than slighting though. If she never said 'I'm going to grab drinks with x, y and z, you got the kids?', he might assume she's not interested in doing that rather and is choosing to be home with the kids instead to seeing friends.
So I would talk about it since it sounds like that wasn't done before, you'd be surprised at how much is assumed that are incorrect.
He has admitted to 1) omitting it and 2) downplaying it.
What happened is that someone mentioned what time the classes ended and I was blindsided... Did the math based on what time he was getting home, and it left me speechless. It was 6-8 hours. That is basically socializing like you are 27 and have no greater responsibilities than going out and blowing off steam, even if half of the time involved talking about school stuff. Who cares what he was talking about. Unless that is directly invested time into something that either pays our bills or has a direct positive impact on our life as a family, ,no married man should be out for the equivalent of a business day.
If you don't have young kids, no way you are understanding this.

I worry about your description of yourself though, like you are trying to prove you are worthy of fidelity. Or are you just putting it out there for context? Because if you doubt your worth, I'd try to get tithe bottom of that, too.
And I'd tell him he should have been up front from the get go, and it's hurtful that he was t. My husband goes to office parties but I hear about it that day. I don't think twice about it.
