Anyways my wife has recently made a new friend in one of her yoga studios. I’ve heard of her but never saw her until last weekend. Only then did I realize we had a few hookups nearly a decade ago when we were both in college. We both had that oh shit moment but neither of us said anything at that time.

That night I told my wife how I knew her. I just said we had a short fling years ago before I met her and it was meaningless. My wife blew up and left our house for the night. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was upset about since she kept flip flopping. One moment she called me a man whore, then another moment she said im trying to sabotage her new friendship by telling her.

Idk AITA for saying anything? My logic at the time was that it’s better to tell her now than let her find out herself or from someone else. It’s not like we don’t have mutual friends who know that history. But maybe I should’ve just kept it to myself and not make their friendship weird. Did I fuck up?
