    Would it bother you....

    Im just curious as to thoughts on this situation:

    A friend used to be president of a company, had several branch offices, was a fairly prestigious job. He had his own adminstrative assistant--a female. The woman looked him up yesterday--2 years later, and came by his new office (different job). They got in his car and went a block or so away to a Wendy's and had a drink and talked for 30 minutes. His wife saw the woman in his car---and is furious. He didnt think I would be bothered in the same situation---I told him he did not know me well then. It would bother me. Am I alone in this? Just curious how other people would react.

    Wow thats a toughie. I want to say it wouldn't really bother me because I trust my husband but in all actuality she would probably be lucky to have hair left!

    LOL @ Dback

    Yes, it would bother me. Not enough to yank her hair or his ... but it would.

    I don't see what the big deal is. Sounds like two old acquaintances catching up on old times. My BF has run into old GF's every once in a while, and it doesn't bother me.

    It's not a big deal, really. But society (and past bad relationships) have conditioned us to not be as trusting as we used to be... and I'm pretty sure most (you being the exception, I wish I was that secure in my relationship! ) ppl would be really upset about this... ATLEAST... until they found out what was going on.

    I have a very trusting relationship w/dh. I really don't think it'd be a big deal. I prolly would feel different if the relationship I had was not as trusting.

    My hubby has gone out to lunch with the women who worked for him and with him. They are talking business. Maybe she was looking for a reference and catching up on the inside gossip of the company.

    Now if she had been an old girlfriend that would be something else. No business going out to lunch when the relationship had been one of dating. That would be like another date.

    I trust my husband, but it would make me so mad that woman would be lucky to make it out of the car alive. The way I see it she has no business in my husbands car. I don't go crawling in other married men's cars so I don't expect any woman have any reason to be in my husband's car. But I would never be in that situation, so I don't have to worry. My husband has enough morals for the all of us. LOL And besides where we live at, even if it was just a friendly thing there would be gossip and before you knew it the whole town would be talking about it.

    Well, if I were in that situation, and it were my DBF, I would talk to him first and find out who it was and why she was in his car, if the explanation was the truth (and believe me, I would KNOW) I would let it be, otherwise he would be living in this house with nothing more than this computer and a pillow....

    I think not the fact that they went to Wendy's for a coke, but that she was in his car would bother me. My way of thinking - if it was just a reference or company gossip, she could have driven her own car down the block and met him inside. I have had business lunches with my male bosses and I always drove myself to and from....
