We have this investor who is married; his a foreigner by the way - his wife is is in their country but he have a girlfriend here and he brings her when he comes to our office, the girlfriend knows that he's married but is not with his wife anymore - according to the GF - for us all we know is his still committed to his legal wife. this situation has make us uncomfortable because we dont want to be caught in the middle if in case his legal wife will visit our office. He doesnt talk much regarding his relationship and personal matter - we respect that however we just dont like the idea of him bringing his "mistress" in our business place, we also believe that this brings bad luck to the business. I want to hear other people's opinion regarding this - are just exagerated and narrow-minded on our way of thinking, not to mention conservative? also, as a woman (me) im beginning not to like her, coz she love to talk about herself all the time and i think she's a hypocrite and fake,

These situations are not to be dealt with by outsiders. We just have to keep about our own lives, and do our work. It does create gossip for sure. Just don't talk to her if you don't like her. Tell her you have to go do something if she approaches you. He is the only one who can change the situation. We are surrounded by that everyday. Like when you go out to movies, clubs, or simply shopping in a store. It is strange when you know the person I know. We can't change it. All we can do is mind our own business, and go about our own lives. Good to know you and your fellow employees have morals. God bless you all!!

It's not really any of your business what his personal relationship is. However, you also are under no obligation to socialize or make conversation with this woman. When she comes in, be polite yet distant, and stay busy and do not allow her to draw you into conversations. Give her one-syllable answers or "um-hum"s while you work. If she continues to try to make conversation tell her, "I'm sorry, but I'm quite busy right now and can't talk."
Oh, and if his wife shows up? Be cordial to her as well, and as friendly as you want to be. It is not your place to mention the mistress and her visits, and if she asks you about it, you can just put on an obviously frozen face and tell her that's something you'd rather not get in the middle of, and she should talk to her husband about it.

It's a personal matter between him, his wife and mistress. If you have no personal relationship with his wife, then it's really none of your business. As long as he doesn't make a big show of it and it doesn't become "tacky" there is not much that you can do. Now if you don't the mistress just because she has a bad attitude and she's fake that's a different story. If you don't want her in your business, it should be because you don't like her, not because she is someones mistress. That part of her really has nothing to do with you.

Moraly speaking your right, You feel what you feel and even though in this case I think your right, even if you weren't right but you feel uncomfortable, thats reason enough for me to take action, however sence he is a business associate depending his position, I mean is he giving you money? If so you may want to try to bight the bullett and try to ignore it as it may not be proffesional to disclose your feelings but you could do little things to make them slowly go away:-)Im sure she can feel your disapproval. Ask him how his wife is when the mistress is with him LOL I dont know but good luck whatever you do.

I wouldn't stand for someone flauting the fact that they are carrying on a affair. I would tattle. Hey throw it in my face, and I know first hand for sure, I don't care.
Can anyone really not want to do this same. What if you were his wife?????
I'd want to know if I was at risk of a STD, etc.
You can find ways to notify the the wife without either of them knowing.....like the person above me says.........phone her and tell her he needs to be picked up, make sure it's a time his mistress is there.

You're at work. What the heck to you do that you have all this time for minding this investor's business??? If you don't like his girlfriend, don't talk to her. You have the perfect excuse. Tell her you're too busy because you have work to do.
Stop minding other people's business. Especially if you're going to bad mouth them after you sit around listening to it. Neither he, nor his girlfriend, care whether you, and the rest of your 'we', like them or not..
It's none of your business! Do what you're getting paid for when they're around.

I agree that it sounds immoral; however, it doesn't sound like your business to me.
I don't think I would talk about anything personal with the man or his "girlfriend" if I were you. Just keep it business. Treat her like a friend of his.

"...this brings bad luck to the business."
I think that says it all.
Yes, I think you are exaggerating the problem, and you are narrow minded, and conservative. And, I think you demonstrate a reasonably high level of ignorance and superstition.
