Hello SI,
It's been 10 years after D-Day; things are not great between BW and I. Which is to be expected after betrayal, this is still my fault, not hers. I went on a business trip recently. This trip was different, there was a female co-worker who was traveling with us. I remembered my promise after D-day, no traveling with women, specifically by myself. I travel with guys 99% of the time, so business trips are normally no problem. This trip was supposed to be me, one other guy, and the female co-worker. The guy had to back out of the trip due to a death in the family. This potentially left me alone with the female co-worker on a business trip. I informed my BW and then immediately invited another male co-worker, who had nothing to do with the project. It cost my project about $5000, but keeps the promise I made intact. It would seem unprofessional to kick the female co-worker off the trip since they worked hard and provided input, and I had to attend since I was presenting at the meeting.
The trip was uneventful, I had to ride in the car one morning with said female co-worker, since then other guy had to run an errand. I was driving, female co-worker complained about my driving, and I said please drive with so&so tomorrow morning then. I used to get along professionally with said female co-worker, now I find her annoying after going on a trip together. I will not travel again with said female for the foreseeable future.
This post is mostly for wayward husbands; 10 years out, do you still monitor yourself and limit interactions with women? Could this be viewed as positive reconciliation post, or was this post better served in the wayward forum?
I still read, mostly lurk in SI these days.
Thank you for your time.
