Accompany Your Spouse to the Company Picnic to Discourage Workplace Affairs

Ruth Houston
Company picnics and other work-related social events can be breeding grounds for workplace affairs. If you value your marriage or relationship, always accompany your spouse or significant other to every work-related social function that partners are allowed to attend. That includes office parties, appreciation dinners, and yes, the company picnic.

Shocking Facts About Workplace Affairs

If there’s any doubt in your mind about why you should go with your partner to such events, the facts below speak for themselves:

A study by VAULT.com found that nearly half of the American work force has been romantically involved with someone on the job.

The workplace now ties with the internet as being the #1 place where cheating spouses and significant others find willing partners with whom to have an affair.

A survey conducted by a private investigation firm found that found that an affair with a co-worker is more likely to be initiated at a company-sponsored social event.

Attend Social Events at Your Partner’s Job

As an infidelity expert who has researched and written about workplace infidelity for years, and consulted with numerous individuals, both male and female who were the victims of workplace affairs, I’m all too familiar with how office romance can take root and escalate out of control. I’ve seen infidelity victims totally distraught over the pain and devastation workplace affairs can cause.

That’s why I strongly suggest that whenever possible, spouses and significant others should always attend company picnics, office parties, and other social events at their partner’s job,

Safeguard Your Relationship and Discourage Workplace Affairs

You should never pass up an opportunity to go social events like the annual company picnic, if spouses and significant others are permitted to attend. Your being there can discourage workplace affairs in four important ways:


1. Short-Circuit a Budding Office Romance - Your partner will think twice about amorously approaching that co-worker he or she has been flirting with, or secretly admiring all year.

2. Keep Predatory Co-Workers at Bay - By making your presence known, predatory co-workers will be less inclined make a play for your partner or less likely to respond to your partner’s advances if it’s obvious that he or she is already attached.

3. Stop Them from Sneaking off for Sex - One survey found that it was not uncommon for employees to sneak away from company-sponsored gatherings to have sex. Your being there will keep your partner’s libido in check.

4. Avoid Alcohol Induced Affairs - Alcohol is a major contributing factor to inappropriate behavior at job-related social events. Your presence there will help keep your partner from over-imbibing and doing something he or she may later regret.

If You Already Suspect Your Partner of Having a Workplace Affair

What if you suspect that your partner is already involved in a workplace affair? Attending the annual company picnic will give you a chance to find out if what you suspect is true. If your spouse or significant other is romantically involved with a co-worker, their behavior or body language will give them away. But knowing what to look for is the key.
