Saw friend’s husband at lunch

[Anonymous]

It depends on a lot of things and what their occupation is. If the guy's job doesn't require him to take women out to lunch that's going to be a problem.

Hey OP - I have business lunches with male colleagues or clients ALL THE TIME. I even travel with my male colleagues (gasp!).

Ya'know...if the guy really wanted to cheat, he wouldn't go to a place with such high visibility...

On another note, c'mon, three pages in and only one mention of pence?!

OP, my husband saw a friend’s husband full-on making out with another woman in a nook/alcove of a restaurant.

We decided to do nothing. But I’ll never look at him the same again.

Was your working lunch with a male colleague?

OP here.

My working lunch was with a group.

Friend’s husband doesn’t have supervisory responsibility, and his role is rather solitary (like an actuary).

I think I will text her and say “I saw Larlo at Ruth’s Chris yesterday. He was deep in conversation so I didn’t say hi, but it got me thinking we should get the kids together soon!”

My friend’s husband was sitting two tables away, alone with a much younger woman.

Should I tell my friend?

My husband was at an upscale restaurant yesterday with an old co-worker who happens to be young, very slim, a very good dresser, and quite pretty. He mentioned to me he'd met her and I was like must be nice! (because in my field there is no such thing as fancy lunch out).

They are old friends and share an industry. She has a younger hotter husband. I'm so not worried.

Biglaw partner here, and I took one of the young attractive summer associates out to lunch. And, you guessed it, someone emailed my wife about it.

We had a good laugh about it, but discussed that in this climate its not wise for me to be seen in this situation so I won't do it again. So yes, unfortunately, I have adopted the Mike Pence rule.

I’ve had my husbands coworkers tell him that they’ve seen me out to lunch (drinking wine) with my hot gay male best friend. I always think of them differently and dislike them after something like this happens. MYOB!

And is more than likely innocent. My husband has a lot of women friends. You are the reason why some Republicans are saying They won’t be seen with a woman without their wife present.

Naw, that particular republican is just a loon.

You could just take a 2nd summer or a 2nd associate with you. No one would bat an eye at THREE people at lunch.

It could be innocent and it could be not. If that’s all you saw, it’s a coin flip.
