[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be professional and friendly. You don’t have to be friends, but if you are rude it’s like being rude to your boss in this situation, so I would just treat them as a package deal and part of my job.

[b]I don’t find it super weird and know some consultants/etc. who always travel with their spouses.  Not my thing but whatever[/b].[/quote]

To PP: Do they come to any client or staff meeting that they wish to attend during the travel? Do they come to all meetings and show PDA? I doubt it.

To OP: This would never fly anywhere I have worked if nothing else because work discussions require some privacy among decision makers. It would otherwise be considered a major problem socially at work and very weird.

PP here—I have known them to do all that.  Not EVERY meeting but definitely things like attending conference sessions and mingling with clients.  Our meeting planner went to one of their weddings!  Those 2 still travel together.  Like I said, very much not my thing but they do it.  I know 3 couples off the top of my head who always travel with partners. They travel so much I guess it makes sense, and no kids (they are all older).[/quote]
