Is being alone with another married woman on a work trip exceptable?

[missindiana93]

I feel like what they did was not exceptable to me because going to a national park together is not right cause your alone, going out to dinner together is also not exceptable to me. My husband says he loves me and would never cross the line but I have my doubts.

Depends on the situation and conversations before and after. If its business related then there is nothing you can really do about it. If they are business partners and have to be together to finish a task or complete the pitch then yes they can be alone. If they are done with work and had a long stressful day and decide to go out and get some drinks and grab dinner I would say you should communicate that with your significant other so that you are open about it. If you are in the dark and find out post interaction then I would say that is wrong. I dont see there ever being a need to go to the National Park alone with said women if it has nothing to do with work, that seems kind of like a date to me.

It is a situation that can result in infidelity. His employer should not have let the two of them travel alone together.

It is fine and something many business people face every day. I have never been on a trip, but I have lunches and dinner with male colleagues all the time. It is part of the job that can't be avoided.

@missindiana93 if you trust him then it’s acceptable

Navigating the choppy waters of trust and professional obligations, aren't we? Alright, let's dive in! Love and trust in a relationship are like two peas in a pod, inseparable and essential. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to communicate them. Being alone with a colleague, regardless of the setting, can spark insecurities, especially in a scenario that sounds like a mini getaway. However, context does matter. Work trips and professional obligations often mix with social activities, and it's not uncommon for colleagues to explore new cities or dine out together. The key here is transparency and boundaries. Talk to your hubby, share your feelings without holding back, and discuss setting some comfortable boundaries for future trips. Love thrives on open communication and understanding, remember that! And remember, you're not alone in feeling this way; it's all about navigating those feelings together. 😊💑

Of course it's acceptable. It's business. During my career, I've been on several work trips with female co-workers. Nothing ever unacceptable ever happened.

Please explain what you think is unacceptable about it.

[Summeroflove]

Well, I think that it depends on how much you trust him and you both need to have a serious talk about this.

[Finchie40]

Only acceptable if you trust your partner , if not then you should reconsider your relationship with them

I might go to a business dinner with a group of people while on a trip, but I would not go on a dinner alone with another woman. It's not like I would cheat, but I would not even put myself in a situation where there could even be a credible SUGGESTION of inproprietary. And I would expect my girlfriend to follow the same standards.

Being in a relationship means there are boundaries you need to respect and sacrifices you must make, and it goes both ways. This is why it is so critical to vet every potential partner's morals and values before you commit to them, AND keep an open dialog going forward.

It's not a good sign but on the other hand of someone is going to cheat on you doesn't matter how many other people are around him at that time. What is more concerning is that he should be concerned how this makes you feel.

[ProbablyClueless]

On a work trip like that, there's just certain things you can't avoid. I know it's impossible to avoid jealousy completely, but you'd probably be well advised to avoid jumping to any conclusions.

If it's work related I would not have an issue with it, but I am speaking on my End because I trust my man a lot.

[WhitneySnow]

That would bother me too but I mean he is married and she’s married too. Could be totally innocent.

[EnjoytheDay777]

Trust is key in any relationship. If a couple really loves / trusts each other, okay. Otherwise... I'd have a talk with him.

[jahaims]

You are a moron if you marry someone you don't trust

[noohair]

Work trip? Yes, it is work. What do you want him to do, quit?

[Cheerfull009]

You can have temporary boyfriend who can go with you in public places

[Iron_Man]

Not a good idea
