'We decided It wouldn't work'

[silversun]

DH was away in a hotel with work (entertainment business) last week with his prettier, younger (and married) colleague.

Talking tonight whilst sorting kids and animals out he was talking about work and said 'we decided it would never work between us as we bicker too much'.

Apparently people at work had been talking about them going away together?
How would you interpret this please?

Can you give more context to this - who did he say it to? You?

More info please!

More info is needed here I think 🤔

Bizarre comment from him as if he had actually given it some thought.

I had said before he went that I wasn't happy but accepted he had to go as it was for work. Hadn't mentioned it since he got back, I had asked him tonight if he was going away with work again soon, those exact words and he said don't worry we decided it wouldn't work.....

This also jumped out at me.

Do you mean in a work context, like working away together?
Or do you mean a relationship?

I don't understand this

So is he suggesting that she’s a “work wife” or they’ve had a discussion, as to ‘if’ it may work, or is he just being an idiot (twat) and winding you up?

Neither do I, we were too busy to question him further and now he's gone out.

He had said what a relaxing time he'd had away and how it would've been better if I were with him but his work involves a lot of socialising so I do worry when he goes away
(Been together 20years so I am used to this by now)
Just such an odd throwaway comment??

You may be reading too much into this. I used to travel a lot for work with one man and we became good friends. This is exactly the kind of conversation we would have ended up having (without there being any sort of “let’s get it on” agenda behind it). Similarly - I have a running joke with a friend and her husband along the lines of “can you imagine if Natalia and friend’s DH were married to each other?” (we have similar interests and are both a bit manic about them). Again - nothing untoward there, or suspected by anyone involved.

I'm hoping he's just joking, I work with a bunch of blokes who I socialise with but he's friends with most of them too as we all go out together, met this woman once briefly in passing.

Are you sure he didn’t mean they won’t go away again as they bicker?
