They are going on a work meeting for business. The hotel room, flight and everything paid for. But they are sharing a room of two beds with a coworker of the opposite sex that is attractive.
Yes, I trust them. 😊
Nope 😡

This isn’t a sexual question. I tried posting on dating category
Your partner is being sent away for a couple of days for work and will be sharing a paid for room with their coworker of opposite sex. Is that okay?
Personally Im not OK with it.. BUT if the trip is unavoidable and can affect his career negatively, I would make him go. I might facetime all throughout the night though, LOL. I do trust him but I would not like him being in that situation. Damn this question is complex.. hats off to the asker.. This is something to think about.
Bruhhhh... that took a dark turn.. I would have an epic freak out.. OMG can't even imagine myself in that situation.. dudeee you tryna mess me up? Haahaa
No reasonable employer sends a male and female employee away for an overnight trip and expects them to share a hotel room (unless they are married to each other or in a long term relatonship.) The premise of this question is bogus and my faith is challenged as soon as I hear this story from my partner.
Then I'd hope my partner would find a better job, because if they can't afford individual hotel rooms, they certainly can't be paying a decent wage.
Either that, or they shouldn't be sending people on business trips, in the first place. No respectable company would put opposite sex coworkers in the same room. Every business trip I've ever been on provides a room for each employee.
I get the point that you're trying to make, and I'm not trying to be difficult, but that would literally be my reaction to that scenario.
I wouldn't even stop to worry about trusting/distrusting my partner, 'cause I'd be too busy ranting about their shitty company.
I'd let her do whatever she thought was the right thing to do. I would hope that she would agree with me that it was unprofessional, and refuse to go for that very reason, but that has nothing to do with my trust in her.
If my job tried to pull that crap with me, I would refuse. They could fire me, or find someone else to go, but either way, I would be looking for a new job.
It’s weird, but not really an issue. We too often unnecessarily sexualize relationships because the people involved are opposite sex. If you look at same sex relationships through the same lens, are we now doubly threatened or does it put the first arrangement into perspective? Personally, i think the bigger issue is being forced to share a room with someone i barely know, male or female. I would refuse unless they get me my own room. There are perfectly valid reasons that most couples take months or years before they move in together even after they’re physically intimate. Same goes for finding a suitable roommate. Yet companies think nothing of forcing virtual strangers to share two of the most personal spaces in the human experience, the bedroom and bathroom. All to save a buck. Pardon my french, but that’s smurfed up!
If I’m with someone I better be able to trust him. If I could not trust him I wouldn’t be with him. Otherwise. I wouldn’t really care. If he was going to cheat he would cheat anyways.
I'm glad to see so far majority women also voted like I would in their shoes: I voted Nope. Lol. After all, i also like how that says a lot to me as a straight man, hmm. Interesting poll so far. Anyways, but I also wonder if that speaks on deeper levels about generally or about individuals. Ah well. I know I'm single so I'm good
This would not happen. No company would do this because there is too much liability on the line, especially if the woman says something was done to her.
To answer the question, I would probably NOT be ok with this. If it came down to it, I would pay out of my own pocket to ensure she got her own room. It is him I would not trust, not her
If you asked me this a few months ago, I would say I would be fine with it because I trusted him completely.
but recently I found out that he has been unfaithful in the past so tbh I’m not so sure the trust is the same right now 🤠
I trust him enough that I don’t think he would do anything but I think I would feel uneasy while he was away. (He’s bisexual so gender or the coworker wouldn’t matter either)
When I worked in New York my company was always explicit that no one had to share a room with a coworker of the opposite sex unless they wanted to. I think that’s the standard in the business world today.
Not okay for me, even if they were going alone. Multiple times when answering on here about things I don't want in a partner, them having a job that requires travel away from home for days is one of the things that I won't accept.
I have a hard time believing pany company would put two employees of the opposite sex in the same room. Liability issues, etc. Hell, when I traveled with my company we all had our own rooms.
It has nothing to do with trust. Where I work it's mostly men. If we are out of town I get my own room. No questions asked. I wouldn't except anything less.
