Hubby knows how I felt about having his friends all join him at the last minute as we later discussed it. While being honest with each other is important, there is a time to speak up, and a time to shut up. Had Hubby's friends not all been standing behind him looking at me as he asked, I would have told him no and explained why. At the time though it was important for me to let his friends know that I was not taking their friend away from them. I did not like the idea of being in a relationship in which all of Hubby's friends thought I was a bitch.
When I write about things I would have done differently, that does not necessarily mean I regretted them. I can enjoy something at the time, and think fondly back on it, and still wished I had done something different. It is one of those hindsight things. Later you can see advantages that were not apparent to you at the time.
