so... small discussion
I got this email from M this morning:
So I just found out FemaleCoworker (with her husband) and MaleCoworker went on vacation together to some concert or something in Chattanooga TN? weird?
What do you think? Background is that these two coworkers are friends at work.
Almost inappropriately so, according to M. Male Coworker will go over to Female Coworker and whisper and sit really close while talking.
I think it's a little weird and slightly inappropriate. I mean, an overnight trip to see is one thing, but a full vacation? I think it's kinda odd. *shrugs* Maybe that's just me though.
Re: so... small discussion
I'm a little confused, was it just female coworker and male coworker, do did her husband join them as well?
the 2 coworkers together alone...weird. With her husband, not as weird.
I'm in the same boat as Meghan...
either situation is weird, but without her husband is weirder and super shady.

I think that it would be 100% inappropriate if it was just the Female and male coworker going on vacation together. The fact that the husband was there (?) would make it more acceptable. Are the female coworkers husband and the male coworker friends? Is male coworker married?
So many questions, but either way I think that it is a bit strange.
Coming from someone who works with a lot of guys-one of whom I'm really close to, I think it's weird if it was just those two. I wouldn't go. If work BFF said, "Hey there's a concert in Louisville-I got us a hotel room." I would say,"Thanks, but no thanks. Take your BSC wife."
Now. That being said, I did go to NC over night with one of my guy friends but we drove to NC and stayed in a hotel with our friend (girl) so I feel like it's a slightly different situation but we did drive to NC and back together. Some people would side eye it but Jon didn't at all and that was my concern.
ah, sorry. Apparently the husband went along too. Male Coworker is single.
I dunno, I just think the whole thing is odd. I wouldn't want a third wheel with me and my husband on a vacation. It's not one of those "holy moly that is the weirdest thing they could have done" type things, but I just kinda give it a minor side eye.
Yeah, to me this is different. It was you and a couple friends. Not you and your husband and one random friend going on a vacation.
I've actually done this twice this year.
Me, H, and his best buddy (obviously he's also my friend) D hang out a lot. Especially over this past year when D's fiancee has been in grad school in Florida and abroad. We're also very interested in some of the same things that lots of other people aren't, so when we get the chance to all go see something, we definitely try to go together to cut down on gas and lodging costs. In February, we all went up to Louisville to go to a concert and booked one hotel room for the 3 of us. At the end of July, we went on a 3 day, 2 night thing down to Atlanta to watch a huge drum corps show and we only had one hotel room each night.
So obviously, this doesn't seem weird to me at all.
I'm with Liz. We have male friends (and female friends in the past) that third wheel with DH and I on weekend trips all the time. Actually, I was the third wheel once to a birthday party OOT and stayed the night at DH's BFF's aunt's house with the BFF and his girlfriend - without DH.
I think the only part of this that makes it semi-awkward is that they are coworkers, but that doesn't bother me personally.
I agree w/ Liz & Cole. A and I take frequent trips with friends, sometimes girls, sometimes guys and they are the third wheel. We also usually share a hotel room to keep the costs down. I don't have a problem with the situation either.
