Office parties can be breeding grounds for workplace affairs. Thats one reason why you should attend the company Christmas party at your husbands or boyfriends job. Being there can act as a deterrent to office affairs.

Short-Circuit an Office Affair

Several studies show that the workplace is the #1 place for cheating husbands to find someone with whom to have an affair. A recent survey by a private investigation firm revealed that of all of the times for a wayward husband to begin a workplace affair, the annual office holiday party is when its most likely to occur. This is prime time for an emotional affair with a co-worker to turn into a sexual affair. If hes had his eye on a someone, or has been secretly admiring her all year, the office party is when hes most likely to make his move. Fortified by a few drinks, he may feel bold enough to make his approach -- especially if youre not there. Attend the party with him and put a damper on his plans.

Keep Predatory Females at Bay

Another reason you should attend the holiday party with him is to make your presence known. Any co-worker who has designs on him, is unlikely to make a play for him with you there. And other female employees are more likely to ignore or rebuff his advances, once they see that hes already attached. Your presence may stop a budding office romance from becoming a full blown affair.

Stamp Out Sex at the Office Party

Its fairly common for employees to sneak away from the office party to have sex. In a recent survey conducted by Men's Health magazine, 44 percent of the men said theyd had an affair with a co-worker at a holiday office party at some point in their life. Alcohol is a major contributing factor. With alcohol flowing freely, one drink too many can lower inhibitions to the danger zone. Infidelity could only be a couple of cocktails away. Your being at the party with him will encourage him to keep his libido in check, and prevent him from doing something hell later regret.

If you Suspect a Workplace Affair

What if you have a nagging suspicion that hes already having an affair with someone one at work? The office party is one of the best chances youll have to find out if what you suspect is true. By watching him interact with female co-workers, youll be able to tell if hes carrying on a workplace affair. You should even be able to pick out who hes involved with by the way he behaves in her presence and by how she acts around him. If you know what to look for, their body language and behavior toward each other will easily give them away.

If You Cant Attend His Office Party

What if spouses and significant others arent allowed to attend? First be sure thats really the case. Sometimes men tell their wives or girlfriends its an employees only party just to make sure they dont attend. If the holiday party is held during business hours, suggest that the two of you meet afterward for dinner or drinks. Knowing youre waiting in the lobby, should discourage him from making out in the parking lot, or sneaking off to a nearby hotel for sex. If he nixes this idea, show up anyway to see who he leaves the party with. If the party takes place after work at another location, and you arent allowed to attend, offer to meet him beforehand for drinks. Then go with him to the location, and kiss him goodbye at the door. Hopefully thatll be enough to keep him in check.
