[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a little different - but I'm a woman who usually travels for work once a quarter, and given my field, most my colleagues are men.  I usually meet up with other people travelling from out of town for drinks the night we arrive, and sometimes it's just me and one other male colleague.  Nothing  remotely sketchy has ever happened, but I guess the premise is a little different.  We are taking advantage of travel to catch up in person (otherwise on Teams all day working from home) which is nice to do, and we are already in a different city without family obligations.

I guess I honestly couldn't say that I'd feel the need to set up drinks with one male colleague that I work with onsite just for fun.  There's plenty of opportunities to chat at work already.  Maybe only if something dysfunctional or weird is happening at work and I needed to vent or get some advice?[/quote]

[b]I went for dinner and drinks with a friend of the opposite sex after work last week. He’s a former coworker.[/b] It was just me and him. We were able to sit across the table from each other and enjoy food and drinks without having sex. It’s pretty common.

People who cheat are going to cheat when an opportunity comes along. They don’t need drinks or a particular coworker to make it happen. They can find the opportunity anywhere.

I wouldn’t give my partner a reason to start hiding things from me by overreacting. If I thought he was cheating or looking for a chance, I’d work on fixing that issue, whether that’s his loose morals, our marriage not being as solid as I like, or my own anxiety causing me to overthink.[/quote]

That's slightly different right? It's not like you see the person in the office then decided to spend more time after work over dinner/drink. [/quote]
