i don't understand why everyone is so harsh on the boyfriend.
Nemi asked how everyone here would classify what happened with a co-worker, and somehow everyone is jumping to the conclusion that her boyfriend is controlling and/or difficult.
maybe no one that has responded has been in a long-term long distance relationship. I have. Emotions are high. Just the fact that they have been able to hold it together for 5 years without much interaction shows that they have a true meeting of the minds - a relationship that is precious and should not be trifled with.
I don't see the interaction with the superior as cheating, not in mind or anything else. I'm not sure that I would classify it as office romance either, since there was no kissing. I will venture to say that this 50 year-old co-worker was a bit out of line. Since he entered your hotel room with a bottle of alcohol, it makes me wonder about his intentions. Hopefully this does not make things difficult in the workplace. It would be viewed as sexual harassment if it were in the United States.
Good luck with everything, hon. And don't listen to these extremists. Your boyfriend is just worried. He doesn't want to lose you. Just be confident in your own mind that you have done nothing wrong - he will soon see things your way, if he does not already. He only doubts because you do.
