Both female
Live together ,4 year relationship.
She's started a new job and in 2 weeks going away with her work mates for a company works party.
They have been told they will be sharing a room with a colleague.
My partner sharing with her boss
I know it makes no sense but I don't like the idea.
I can't say anything because I know I'm being silly.

Would you feel this way ?

Are you really thinking that her boss i.e. the owner of the company your girlfriend works for is going to make an advance at your girlfriend ?

or you trust your girlfriend so little that you think she is going to make an advance at the person that employs her and pays her wages ?

or do you mean her ' boss ' is her manager ?

do you have reason to believe this other female is gay ?

In my opinion, if they can't afford to put everyone in separate rooms then they can't afford a works party.

But perhaps she is perfectly fine with it? If so then it's not really your place to say otherwise.

This. I’d never go anywhere I was expected to share with a colleague but if she’s ok with it then fine

Wow, bi people are really fucked in this situation, aren’t we?

It’s amazing how we go through life not screwing every single person we are left alone in a room with.

I had the same thought!

I'm a bit uncomfortable with your reasoning op. Are you suggesting that you believe your gf has no self control and that she'll have sex with this colleague? The comparison with a male/female colleague situation is a bit different because of the potential for rape/SA, plus issues around privacy and dignity so it's not a like for like situation.

It sounds like you don't trust her? Is there a reason?

Is she allowed to be friends with other women? What about communal changing rooms - would you feel the same?

Do you fancy every single woman you meet? It sounds like you think because she's same sex attracted that she must fancy every woman she meets which feels a bit homophobic tbh? I'm bisexual and cannot tell you the amount of times people have made the same assumption. It's quite insulting.

If you don't trust her and you have good reason, that's one thing but if it's just because you think she'll shag any woman she meets I'd be looking at why you think that is.

I also think that sharing rooms in a work related situation is completely inappropriate and unreasonable. It should not be the expectation at all and if I was asked to do this I would point blank refuse. It's a bit odd.

But this is not what this this thread is about.

Exactly this! Nobody is safe in our company! We obviously want to lay everybody!!!!

OP,

You sound like you’re emotionally abusive and very insecure. Please don’t deny it or pull wool over the eyes of people who have bothered to respond to your post.

If your GF had an issue with it, then she needs to take this up with her employer.

You are making more of a song and dance about it and it probably stems down to trust issues that you have.

I hey being uncomfortable about it, but if they're going to get up to something, they'll just end up in the same room even though they have seperate rooms. Same for men away in mixed company.
