Would you be concerned- DH & work colleague?

To preface it, my DH is a decent person and a good father. However, I have found on his phone log that he frequently calls his work colleague. I didn’t count, but there were so many calls to her. Their texts are set on disappearing, but the ones there are not inappropriate but deeply intimate and personal. She’s asking about his specialist appointment that day, and he’s telling her about the stress at work. He’s not been well lately but insists on going to the office. Our son walked into the home office room and said, "Hold on, I am on a call with “her name”. I don’t know what to make out of it. He’s equally been not sleeping well, so he sleeps in a spare room. He’s exhausted from the work and sleeps on the weekends.

'Best thing I reckon is to speak to him about it'

She did, he minimised and dismissed and carried on.

Surprised you ever get any work done all that chatting

I work - in one of my previous roles I think most of the men (barring 2) were actively cheating on their spouses with colleagues in the business or industry.

We often worked away so there was the opportunity to cheat, but still.

I was genuinely astonished at how ‘accepted’ this was among colleagues. I was only quite young and unmarried at the time but it really shook me.
