trucker husband hid female friendship

Hello. Im new to this site. I wanted some info and your opinions on this subject . My husband is a local truck driver. he's been trucking for 4 years now. I recently found out through phone logs and later on looking at actual phone account that my trucker husband has been chatting it up and texting with this female lady friend every single day. He claims that it is "just a friendship" now from what I found out: I seen a particular phone number that struck me as odd because I didn't recognize the number.

Upon further research I found out that they talk and text every single day. He never told me of this new "female" friendship he had with her. I told him to call her so I can hear what type of conversation goes on and how they talk to each other. He wouldn't call her her in front of me.

After about 3 days of asking him to call her and him refusing I finally called her. She told me that she never knew he was married. She also said she gave him her personal phone number on 3 separate occasions. When I asked her why she gave him her phone number she told me " I just gave him my number to give him my number"

Were they really just friends in your opinion? did she want something more with him. Did he want something more with her? Did he want to see how far he can take this "new friendship: without my knowing about it? She is 42 years old and divorced.

Why didn't my husband tell her right away he was married? Im sure he had enough opportunities to tell her. I feel hurt and betrayed. How can I know that they are telling me the truth. I feel so lost and angry at them both. He said he no longer talks to her but how can I be sure I don't want to be playing detective.

This went on for a week before I found out but I know she had or had like 2 other phone numbers as well. so I just wanted your ladies opinion on the subject. Or mens opinion as well .

Thank you for reading Ladies :-)
