My XH & OW work in film/tv. When he is working, it's 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. I think the combo of intense work schedule, plus high pressure environment, coupled w/XH's poor boundaries and constant need for validation led to his A. Having talked to mutual friends that work w/both of them, OW has quite a reputation for being loose.

I think that since you spend so much time at work, you bond w/your co-workers. At my job, we hang out alot off hours. I've gone on vacation w/them more than once. The difference being, I'm friends w/the guys. I suppose it depends on the people in question, what their morals are.

Me: MH 40s; Him: MH 40s (I had RA)
OW: 30s, moron; one of many
M: 8 yrs
3/13: D'd; free of the overgrown baby

Everything is as it should be.

Me, WH and OW are all academics. Me and WH at the same university, OW at a different one. WH and OW collaborated on several research projects.

EA happened when WH and OW were both together on sabbatical at another university in a different country. So long hours together and me completely out of the picture.

Me (BS), Him (WH): early 50's
3 DS: teens!!! :)
M: 24 (19 1/2 at Dday), Together 29
Dday: Dec 2008
re-separated (in-house), for good (??) <-- should really remove these, shouldn't I...

My fWH is a Unit Manager at a Life Insurance Company, and the OW was a Life Insurance Agent at his office. His occupation definitely creates excuses for late hours (honey, I've got an appointment with a client this evening, won't be home until late), or as in his case, "I have to do a presentation to some clients with one of the junior agents this evening". Even now, although he's ended the affair (I've seen proof that he has) every late night gives me pause. I hope one day these feelings of suspicion will dissipate.

My FWW worked in the resort industry at the time of her A. She and her AP were both sports instructors. Long and highly variable hours, fucking perfect.

I had an RA with the W of an associate. Hooked up at a corporate retreat, with a wink and a nod from her H. We weren't the only ones.

My best friend's WW is a nurse. Another is in real estate.

I'm here because of two coworkers whose flagrant EA (suspected PA) triggered wicked PTSD attacks and flashbacks from our A season over 30 years ago.

Work is the land of opportunity. Recent statistics show that wives who work are unfaithful at pretty much the same rate as husbands that work. The stats for the stay-at-homes are better, it's just that more women have that lifestyle, so their overall A-rate looks a little better.

Ugh.

I think the workplace can make things easier to something to evolve. Areas that I've either lost a relationship in, or saw it happen are:

The Military
Law Enforcement
Emergency Services
Hospital
Bar/Restaurant

Now, I refuse to date anyone in one of these fields.

Me: BGF (46), on the fence
Him: WBF (much younger than me), not sure he's the man he thinks he is.

I loved you for who I thought you were. Since he doesn't exist, who the hell am I'm sleeping with?
