Snarky Brides

To be stubborn or not to be stubborn.. that is the question.

About 6 months before FI and I had reconnected, I met a guy, B.  A mutual friend had introduced us and we hit it off really well.  He lives in Chicago, so while we were feeling out what was what, I went down to visit him a couple times.  In one of the visits a few things happened.  No sex, but some other stuff (at least for him).  I really had a thing for him, but after some thinking, as much as he liked me, he just wasn't in a place in his life to be in a relationship.  He is a very spiritual guy, very in touch with God and his faith, and he just didn't think it was the right time in his life to be in a relationsihp.  I was more than okay with it because I still gained a great friend out of the whole process.

I was extremely honest with FI about B.  FI knows I had a huge thing for B at the time but that ther eis nothing there (and that thing even went away before FI and I reconnected).  They've only met once, but they seemed to get along just fine.

This weekend we are headed to Chicago with the Russian exchange students from my school.  FI is the male chaperone, I am the female.  He was very kind in offering to go since no male teachers were available.  I told him that B might be joining us for dinner one evening since we'll be there anyway (and he's one of my best friends) and FI said that if we are seeing B, he will not be going on the trip anymore.  He says that every time I even mention B, all he does is picture the things we have done (which was not that much and was only one night).

I think FI is overreacting and needs to let it go.  He thinks he can't control where his mind wanders and is more or less making me choose.  Of course, in the end, I choose FI, but I don't think I've ever been this angry with him.  Am I in the wrong here that he should let it go since there is nothing at all between B and I, and there hasn't been for a few years?

This is the first time I've truly been stumped at what to do with FI.  He's being quite a jerk about it.  We had a long talk about our pasts after our marriage class the other weekend and we both asked for (and received) eachother's forgiveness.
