When my DH was still in grad school, me and a bunch of my friends from work used to go out to dinner or happy hour and hang out on Thursday nights. My DH didn't care, he trusts me and he was busy or travelling. A couple of times, only a few people would show up. It was a weekly thing. One time my good friend and I went alone to dinner. He was going thru a rough time and we went out to chat. My DH knew him and he knew we were going out for a bite. It was platonic, nothing more. We were seen by a gossipy coworker who gave me "knowing looks" after that and told everyone she had seen us on a date. :annoyed: I wasn't the only person whom she gossiped about and luckily nobody listened to her anyway. We were all glad when she was let go!

I don't think she cared, I think it was just a discussion about an uncomfortable moment that could create some tension/hostility in the workplace. Then again, if she did care I think it could be because people who cheat on their significant others are weak, pathetic, trash who shouldn't bother being in a relationship if they can't commit (open relationships and "permission" excluded).

Of course it is possible. And there are other possibilities as well. But explore the scenario presented. This was after business hours and away from the office. Not all work-related discussion is always in the office setting, but this young woman is just a secretary so presumably wouldn't be having bigwig business discussions with the man. And if he were interviewing her for a position working for him, it would most likely occur at the office rather than in an afterhours resturant. Senorina lives forty miles away from her office, and the secretary lives an additional 30 miles on away from that, so she is now seventy miles away from her home. Now I know folks don't always eat at their local places, but this is a bit 'interesting'. This puts her a long, long way away from the eyes of her husband or their friends, hopefully, and into the probably arena of meeting nobody who recognizes her. The couple appeared to be at least somewhat uncomfortable when Seniorina noticed them and approached the table to chat briefly. The man didn't say more than a quick hello. Finally, the secretary called in sick. Might be. Might just be stricken about being caught stepping out on her husband and in a panic about being seen/having to face seeing Senorina again. Whatever the truth of the situation, it is only one of a million events we post about here on the Playground. Of passing interest and commented on, worth a chuckle and a bit of the game of speculation. Nothing much more, but certainly not worth the 'what's it to you' comments. Wow.

:high5: If, from their behavior then and afterwards, I honestly thought they were cheating with one another, they'd have both lost my respect. I am not one to rush to judgement, and it could have been perfectly innocent. Doesn't sound like it - that far from home? If I read it right, they were something like 70 miles from home? Granted - whether or not they are having an affair is no one's business but theirs and their respective SO's... But in my opinion, it speaks volumes about their character.

If you go back in the thread, you will see I did not post anything like that to Senorina or ask her "what's it to you". Those were other posters. I only asked if it looked like two friends sharing a meal. Even though it does sound suspicious, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt in cases like this.

The thing that stands out to me is that this happened on a Sunday. I have male friends that I've met for lunch - totally innocent and platonic. I don't know that I'd meet any of them for dinner on a Sunday 70 miles from my home.

For the record, I agree with this about people who cheat. But unless it was Senorina's partner doing the dining with another, it really wasn't her business. And who knew what kind of "permission" these two had for instance (your case scenario).

What does that have to do with having the opinion, thought, or a discussion about it. When you say it is "none of someone's business", that sounds as though Senorina was actually going to tell either of their significant others, other people at work, or confront the possible cheaters. Since she said it wasn't, I'm not sure why you'd make such a comment other than to snark. The whole point of the thread just seems to spark some discussion about how Senorina felt and the possible change in demeanor or atmosphere that this "chance meeting" might cause in the future.

I can't believe people are insinuating that you shouldn't remark on something remarkable that happened to you recently. It's not like you're running your mouth off at the office or holding anyone in judgment. If it were up to some, this place would be just be threads about "what you ate for dinner" or "look at photos of my dog".

Not a *correct* way, just different ways. I personally wouldn't have said anything to my dinner companions since they don't know them anyway. Other than that I think she handled it just fine. I did say I wouldn't have said anything to them but she explained that she didn't see the guy and that is why she said hi and chatted.

I'm of the opinion that if people are out in a public place, anyone who sees them can handle it the way they see fit. There is no *correct* way. It's entirely possible that it's innocent, and it's entirely possible that it isn't. I can't imagine why people who are cheating would be stupid enough to be out in public together. It's like they're begging to be found out.

What do you mean, "it really wasn't her business"? She's the innocent party here who stumbled upon an awkward situation who now is put in another awkward situation at work.

http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/beyond-lowcarb-realm-playground/...
When my DH was still in grad school, me and a bunch of my friends from work used to go out to dinner or happy hour and hang out on Thursday nights. My DH didn't care, he trusts me and he was busy or travelling. A couple of times, only a few people would show up. It was a weekly thing. One time my good friend and I went alone to dinner. He was going thru a rough time and we went out to chat. My DH knew him and he knew we were going out for a bite. It was platonic, nothing more. We were seen by a gossipy coworker who gave me "knowing looks" after that and told everyone she had seen us on a date. :annoyed: I wasn't the only person whom she gossiped about and luckily nobody listened to her anyway. We were all glad when she was let go!

I don't think she cared, I think it was just a discussion about an uncomfortable moment that could create some tension/hostility in the workplace. Then again, if she did care I think it could be because people who cheat on their significant others are weak, pathetic, trash who shouldn't bother being in a relationship if they can't commit (open relationships and "permission" excluded).

Of course it is possible. And there are other possibilities as well. But explore the scenario presented. This was after business hours and away from the office. Not all work-related discussion is always in the office setting, but this young woman is just a secretary so presumably wouldn't be having bigwig business discussions with the man. And if he were interviewing her for a position working for him, it would most likely occur at the office rather than in an afterhours resturant. Senorina lives forty miles away from her office, and the secretary lives an additional 30 miles on away from that, so she is now seventy miles away from her home. Now I know folks don't always eat at their local places, but this is a bit 'interesting'. This puts her a long, long way away from the eyes of her husband or their friends, hopefully, and into the probably arena of meeting nobody who recognizes her. The couple appeared to be at least somewhat uncomfortable when Seniorina noticed them and approached the table to chat briefly. The man didn't say more than a quick hello. Finally, the secretary called in sick. Might be. Might just be stricken about being caught stepping out on her husband and in a panic about being seen/having to face seeing Senorina again. Whatever the truth of the situation, it is only one of a million events we post about here on the Playground. Of passing interest and commented on, worth a chuckle and a bit of the game of speculation. Nothing much more, but certainly not worth the 'what's it to you' comments. Wow.

:high5: If, from their behavior then and afterwards, I honestly thought they were cheating with one another, they'd have both lost my respect. I am not one to rush to judgement, and it could have been perfectly innocent. Doesn't sound like it - that far from home? If I read it right, they were something like 70 miles from home? Granted - whether or not they are having an affair is no one's business but theirs and their respective SO's... But in my opinion, it speaks volumes about their character.

If you go back in the thread, you will see I did not post anything like that to Senorina or ask her "what's it to you". Those were other posters. I only asked if it looked like two friends sharing a meal. Even though it does sound suspicious, I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt in cases like this.

The thing that stands out to me is that this happened on a Sunday. I have male friends that I've met for lunch - totally innocent and platonic. I don't know that I'd meet any of them for dinner on a Sunday 70 miles from my home.

For the record, I agree with this about people who cheat. But unless it was Senorina's partner doing the dining with another, it really wasn't her business. And who knew what kind of "permission" these two had for instance (your case scenario).

What does that have to do with having the opinion, thought, or a discussion about it. When you say it is "none of someone's business", that sounds as though Senorina was actually going to tell either of their significant others, other people at work, or confront the possible cheaters. Since she said it wasn't, I'm not sure why you'd make such a comment other than to snark. The whole point of the thread just seems to spark some discussion about how Senorina felt and the possible change in demeanor or atmosphere that this "chance meeting" might cause in the future.

I can't believe people are insinuating that you shouldn't remark on something remarkable that happened to you recently. It's not like you're running your mouth off at the office or holding anyone in judgment. If it were up to some, this place would be just be threads about "what you ate for dinner" or "look at photos of my dog".

Not a *correct* way, just different ways. I personally wouldn't have said anything to my dinner companions since they don't know them anyway. Other than that I think she handled it just fine. I did say I wouldn't have said anything to them but she explained that she didn't see the guy and that is why she said hi and chatted.

I'm of the opinion that if people are out in a public place, anyone who sees them can handle it the way they see fit. There is no *correct* way. It's entirely possible that it's innocent, and it's entirely possible that it isn't. I can't imagine why people who are cheating would be stupid enough to be out in public together. It's like they're begging to be found out.
