Is it weird boyfriend calls me an associate?

[Anonymous]

He called me an associate when he was talking to another woman. We do work together but I found this strange. I work at his business.

Isn't that good thing? He is addressing you with professional status.

Assume if you are working in a Corporate company your husband is president and you are vice president and before client he says i am president xyxmz co and this is my wife?

Your identity as placeholder in the company would be fucked isn't it so?

I mean ok you are his girlfriend but he can't tell or should not tell to other colleagues he would be accused of favourism don't you think?

He’s cheating with a black woman so it’s over between us. We are Chinese

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Now that's entirely different issue

So it's already over then why would he introduce you as his girlfriend 🤔

"We do work together but I found this strange. I work at his business." It may be another way to say "co-worker", but nothing odd about it. He may have gotten the term from Wal-Mart. :D

I found out he’s cheating with a black girl and we are Asian omg

[DizzyDesii]

I’d dump him since he doesn't wanna claim me

Was he talking to her on his work time? Then it might make sense but if it was off work hours then it raises some questions.

It's a way not to get accused of sexual harassment.

That's fucked up. He's keeping it a secret because he doesn't want other people to know which is highly weird and unusual

[Smashingdoozy]

Very strange
