Sorry OP.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I think this could be your problem, unless she's ever given you reason to doubt her

You're being silly, jealous, and possessive. Get over it. Women interact with men all the time without jumping into bed with them. Sheesh
Yup. And your insecurity is a little ridiculous for someone your age. God...

With regard to the thread title, it seems that the only behavior the OP's wife has engaged in is to have organized a professional conference as part of her job. It seems like the only inappropriate behavior in this scenario is that her husband doesn't trust her when she's given him no reason not to.

Not really, we are all human and he loves his wife. Jealousy is a normal emotion.

We do tend to out grow it as we get older but it can still be "Normal".

Here’s what happened today: I phoned her at 11 am – no answer. Text her. Phone again at hourly intervals the phone is on but she doesn’t answer. Jealous I go in overdrive. Is she mad at me or was she in an accident? I phoned one of her colleague/friends. Oh no, he says, they’re driving in three cars and she’s in one of them up ahead. She phones me 5 minutes later her phone was on silent and she’s still having fun. They had a meeting and then drove up the coast.

I guess everything is fine I’ll get her a the airport. I behaved like a teenager. Beleive me. Next time I’ll be at the last evening dinner no matter what it costs.

In future I’ll be less complacent about her. I still loves her as much as 33 years ago when we got married.

Not to be flippant, but if you're this jealous when she does normal things, then consider getting help, otherwise there might not actually be a future

She's having fun and enjoying her trip.

Don't be so needy or worried, she'll be home soon. Married couples need time and a life away from each other. Just makes it better when she returns.

Be an adult about it.

Hopefully you love 100 times that amount.

Exactly. The OP isn't helping his cause by overreacting like this. I couldn't imagine being married to someone who acted like this whenever I went out of town.

I would suggest to the OP to take the "jealous energy" and put it toward something else. If you're just at home, go exercise.

Wow. She didn't answer her phone while she's out doing business socializing? Shocker!

My husband is going out to dinner for business tonight. He travels for business all the time. I have no doubts about his faithfulness. Sometimes I call him and he doesn't answer. Still no doubts about his faithfulness. Cell phones are a great invention but they really can be so intrusive. I don't always answer my phone either when I'm in the middle of a conversation or out and about. He doesn't distrust me for that reason either.

You either trust her or you don't. Go with your instinct.
