Don't know if this joke has been made yet, but ask Spiegel about "it's just dinner with a coworker" and how that relates to "trust in a relationship".

Chiming in as a married Gen-Xer who has dinner with married exes a couple of times a year and nobody cares. Been with my wife for 20 years.

So no ballgames with a buddy for Pence?

Weirdo

I think NOW it's to the point of "This is a bit."

It's foolish to think you would stop a woman from cheating by monitoring her social calendar.

If a person wants to cheat they are going to cheat and unlike what was said before it doesn't start with an innocent dinner.

Keep you relationship happy and healthy and don't sweat the rest.

Save the last dance for me.

This should probably go in the "Common Knowledge You Didn't Know" thread, but until just now I never realized how suggestive that line is. But maybe it's just because good dolphin is such a lascivious bastard that it hit me.

All is true.

A dinner isn't going to be the tipping point. Constant monitoring, asking repeated questions, and overall distrust is going to do far worse damage than a steak dinner.

Steak dinner. BOOM!

That isn't to say I'd be cool with it if my wife had a standing dinner reservation every Friday night with different guy friends, but it would anger me if she did that with female friends as well.

My wife has a pretty healthy social life. I'd say she goes out at night with friends once a week. She goes on girls weekends usually once a year. She has every opportunity in the world to make me look like a fool. Alternatively, I have a night meeting at least once a week on average. I could do the same.

Hate to break it to you guys but your woman has been cheating on you for awhile now.

You should have controlled her behavior more.

I'm no catch, either in looks or personality. Life and this board has made that abundantly clear to me.

I don't think anyone said that your significant other should be a prisoner or that you should fear cheating every time he/she leaves your presence. We all know situations we should avoid. As I said earlier there is a huge difference trusting your significant other and being a complete idiot.

There are certain types of women who you know from the beginning you are going to have to monitor...the type that seem to be trading up with every successive relationship, who would seemingly do anything for career advancement and who are always looking over your shoulder when they are talking to you. You would be a fool to marry them in the first place

What if you found out the other guy got to try anal on her?

but what are you going to do about it? If dinner is going to be more than dinner than the dinner is irrelevant. There are lots of married women out there on dating sites looking to dispense with the dinner and go straight to dessert.

You really can't do much about it if your significant other wants to cheat. That being said I'm not going to put myself in situations that can cause problems and I'm not going to encourage my significant other to get dressed in front of her coworker to prove that I trust her.

Is there any scenario that you're uncomfortable with or does everything fall under the umbrella of trust? Don't ask don't tell?

love to get IceGirls thought on this

No. I think I'd be much more pissed if I heard about or saw her flirting in a bar than going to dinner. Introducing alcohol into the situation changes a lot.

It isn't about monitoring or controlling anything.

It's about not going on a date that isn't really a date with another woman. It's just something I'd rather avoid all together.

There have been so many qualifiers here that describe so many instances where it would be unacceptable that I'm pretty sure there is at least some point in just making it something that doesn't happen at all.

I think its about not disrespecting the marriage.

I have clients who straight out will say they want me to get them laid. I avoid that dinner much quicker than one with a female client.

I just booked a business lunch with a female colleague for next week. You jerks were the only thing going through my head as I put it in my calendar.
