A few weeks back DH announced that a new woman had started at his work. A lead buyer with a reputation for being cut-throat and ruthless.



A week or so later he tells me this woman is rubbing people up the wrong way as she's so ruthless and basically gets what she wants when she wants it with no regard to anyone else.



This week he's telling me that he's met this woman now and she "let on" to him and seems ok but gossip is spreading around the workplace that she's come in like a bull in a China shop and is making quite the impact. She's the same age as him. I'm 10 years younger and a quiet, passive type. The way he talks it's as if he's fascinated by her.



Then he tells me he me he may have to go on a few business trips with her around the UK.



Now he tells me this will happen in a fortnight and they will be going to Glasgow together. This involves them hiring a car, driving 300 miles, going out to dinner with clients and then staying overnight in a hotel. Separate rooms obviously.



He's making all the right noises "oh I'm dreading it, 2 days stuck with her, wish you could come and keep me company" etc etc but he's clearly fascinated by her by the way he goes on! AIBU to be concerned?
