Our son plays on one of the many travel sport teams in this locale. We rarely travel as a family and often have to divide and conquer. I have my suspicions about my spouse but I have not concluded anything as of yet.

Are affairs prevalent among travel team parents and what has your experience been?

I wish, there seems to be a lot of flirting, I am not sure how to interpret it. Casual arm touching, leg touch texts with smiley faces.

Op- why do you suspect something's going on?

I went through a separation while my child was on a travel team and noticed the mothers more flirty with me after. Nothing ever happened and would never put my child into an awkward situation.

I would guess there is, given parents would be of relatively same age and have their kids' interests in common. Plus there is an excuse to spend time around one another.

I went on many of these travel team trips.
There is plenty of flirting, drinking, etc but most of the time, you are staying in the same room as your kid so it's kind of hard to do any bottom-knocking, even if you found a willing partner.

That other spouse would have to be a real dirt bag, especially considering the kids... their parents during sports no less!

My friend's husband started traveling for his job 5 times a year. She wanted him to not travel, or get another job but he refused. Feeling like that was a red flag she hired a p.i. close to the hotel he was staying at. Sure enough he was hitting on women at the bar, but apparently didn't get lucky. A few weeks before the next trip she had a nice talk with him. Made it clear they had a great marriage, but any cheating would be a deal breaker. And that she expected him to communicate any problems they could work on together. He totally agreed. Well long story short he picked up a woman and brought her to his hotel room.

She filed for divorce and shocked the heck out of him. She showed him the photos and never looked back though he cried a river etc. He lied right to her face and very convincing. How he acted when she wasn't around was very sad and disappointing.

But only among deeply flawed people. I have had plenty of opportunity through work travel, etc., but it never happened

OP is already suspicious of his/her spouse here. Perhaps they traded off taking kids to respective activities and now OP's spouse is always volunteering to go?

In any case, the repeat contact can lead to attraction and temptation. But if they want, they can meet up at anytime not necessarily at the travel team hotel rooms where the kids are.

Yet another way kids travel sports can be so disruptive to family life. Don't even get me started...

Good grief, we are all flawed.

Sad story, but good for her.

Cool novel, bro. What does this have to do with travel sports?

Exactly. And someone willing to subject their health and their partner's to a deadly std.
