Husband staying over at boss’s house. Normal?

[Lana20]

Hi everyone. Does anyone think this is normal or something to be worried about? My sister’s husband works for a wealthy family that have a country house. He has been invited to stay with them for the weekend and he has accepted. My sister doesn’t want him to go but he’s going anyways as he’s hoping to get a bonus/promotion soon. His wife and her parents are also staying there & my sister finds it’s strange that he would want to stay at their house especially whilst his wife is there. Would this bother anyone or would this be considered normal?

So the woman’s unattractive and desperate but your sister trusts her husband but not her?
Jesus fucking Christ! Is this where we are? The naughty woman, having to talk to someone else’s husband because she actually works with him. Gives him a compliment on his clothes and is apparently encouraging her husband to invite him so she can shag him senseless, according to your sister!

Sounds like that episode of Lewis where the couple swung at their boss's mansion then came home to a murdered babysitter

Made me think about the Roald Dahl short story featuring My Uncle Oswald.

So she thinks the boss is a cuckold who's been encouraged by his wife to invite the handsome young employee round so she can get close to him. Sounds totally plausible. Some people have very vivid imaginations and to much spare time.

I don’t think it’s unusual if you work for a prominent family. Dh is a company director and he takes his employees away for the weekend (to someone else’s country house or a hotel) a couple times a year. We don’t have the sort of house to invite them to ours. 😂 But I don’t think it’s weird. It’s not like he’s going to be shagging his boss’s MIL after a game of crochet.

Ok well this already makes more sense. But the invitation came from his boss and he will be there all weekend so surely the wife isn’t going to try anything on right there with her husband present?

If I were her, I would try and calm myself down and think of the promotion and to trust her husband even if the wife is a little flirty.

Wouldn't bother me my dh has stayed over at his friends house when they went drinking and wasn't close by to get home, the friends wife was there and I wasn't worried

If your sister trusts her husband there's no problem is there.

Does she really think they're all going to be bed hopping or something.

I think it's your husband OP 😊

I doubt any sister would share all that information!

Anyway, either you or sis should arrive at the boss's house and float in the door in a long red dress, dagger in the overnight bag. Agatha Christie has a few books that might help.

I don’t see anything wrong with that.

Such a weird thread.

Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. Being conventionally attractive does not protect a person from getting cheated on. Ask Beyonce.

But it's so unlikely the wife of the boss is going to try to seduce your husband in her own home in front of her husband. So unless they're of the upside-down pineapple and pampas grass persuasion, I think his virtue is safe.

So this is about you, not your sister? And you are the “stunning” one?

I think you need to get to grips with your jealousy tbh. It’s not an ideal character trait to have when your DH works abroad…

I think OP has quite an ego if some of this is what she really thinks especially if h is so irrestible his bosses wife is going to be all over him like a rash. 🙄

I quite like this idea as the foundation of a White Lotus type screenplay given some of the comments here....

Absent that I think your sis is worrying unnecessarily and it's a very welcoming offer. It shows that the family like your BiL and want to get to know him better.

If your sister was in the country with him I would expect her to be invited too. Indeed it would be unsupportive of her not to do so.

It’s the bit about the “sister” being “stunning” and the boss’s wife being “unattractive”. Do you think that no one shags “unattractive”
people or cheats on “stunning” people?

Hang on, I’m having deja lu (and yes, I mean lu).

Send him a door wedge - see travel lodge thread

Yes in that type of set up it’s quite common.

She obviously doesn't trust her husband.

Is his boss's name Sir Bertilak? Does he wear green? Is his head always attached to his body?

Think OP is posting multiple threads mentioning husbands,
brothers and sisters working or not working abroad. The theme is lack of trust

Theres no need for your sister to worry because her husband (his boss) is there and if there was anything to hide her husband probably wouldn’t have been so honest about the woman complimenting him

Maybe your sister should tell her husband why it bothers her and he could probably reassure her of why she shouldn’t be worried if that helps

From what I've read today about "fabswingers" anything is possible.

Well if he has already accepted the invitation it would be rude to cancel. I think it’s totally normal especially as his boss will be there, definitely nothing to worry about

Your sister is losing the plot! Jesus! 😵‍💫🤯😵‍💫
