Honesty is the best policy for these things.
So if you're at work and have a friend who asks if you want to go for lunch you'd say you have to ask your girlfriend/wife first? I find that weird to be honest.

That would be odd.
Mentioning it to your partner afterwards, or if it was for the future, that you're going to catch-up with a friend, is pretty normal though I'd have thought

I think the caveat is the friend is a former flame, partner, interested party.
A vexed topic it is.
Tell your current partner you ask yourself why should I there's nothing to hide.
Dont tell you partner, partner finds out and asks whats this all about then?
or
Dont tell you partner, partner finds out and doesnt care.
So many variables.

Exactly, if you're not doing anything wrong...Why hide it?
Or just bring your current partner and put "3-way" on the table early

Everyones different. Fair enough. How about if it’s just a walk/coffee to get out of the office? I’ve done that often.
Will ask my wife. Will let everyone know if I’m sleeping on the couch later.

Because you've given carte blanche for your partner to go and see exes, flames, old work colleagues without telling you about it.
Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander.
Exes not so much. That seems to be the issue. Wouldn’t care at all about colleagues or friends.

Yeah I hang out with female colleagues on lunch some times.
My wife has no issue at all.

Well yeah, and nor should she. Part of the normal office milieu.
But someone you worked with in the past? And haven't had any connection with since?

Agreed. I miss it. Facebook Messenger just is not the same.

Idk what half of those are
Funny how we invented the phone to take over mail. Then somehow it got all awkward to speak so we are now back to written messages.
