Okay, how would you feel if your boyfriend or husband had a female co-worker that he always went to lunch with? Not only that, but the female co-worker brings in coffee for him in the mornings, sends him non-professional emails and does other things that could easily hint at that maybe she's interested in him.


Would you tell your boyfriend/husband to stop interacting with his female co-worker on that level, or would you simply not care?


I am asking this because I am thinking about using this premise to build a screenplay around. There's a lot more to it, but I need to know what the initial feelings or reactions would be from women.


So, please tell me, how would you honestly feel?


Thanks!

Irritated, and I'd expect that he cease all but professional contact.

Again I'm the old fashioned one on here, apparently, but I think it is inappropriate.

Your scenario implies no trust in one's partner and one's partner attempting to control a mature adult spouse/partner.
I would not be with someone I do not trust.
I would not stay with someone attempting to control me and the choices I make in my life.

Your reaction is what I believe most women will agree with.

No, their reply affects them alone and does not speak for *most women*.

It really depends, I can see it not bothering me, or pissing me off. The details matter.

I would definitely tell him to stop interacting with her.

Let him know how you feel about everything you stated. He can decide how/if he wants to respect your feelings. You can decide if you accept how he handles your concern.

Why does he "always" go to lunch with her? OP, that part isn't even believable, unless the guy is in a troubled relationship or marriage already.

She's his work wife.

I would not be thrilled.
