Avoid her on this trip. If y’all do run into each other…I dunno…I’d come up with an excuse not to have dinner together. Claim you’re tired and then go out with some vendors/clients after the coast is clear.
Just wish her well and keep her at arms length.

Apparently her husband is raising a stink over it and she went to our department head and asked I not go or they send a third person.
Plot twist... company agrees to send third person who she promptly bangs.

I’ve already told her I have plans every night already. I doubt I see her much the 3 days we are there.

I’ve done this my whole career and never had an issue come up. You need to also assume this is coming from her…not her husband. I find it hard to believe she would do this because her husband wanted her to. I’ll let you figure out why this is the case.
Avoid her like the plague any time you’re not supposed to be together for work. Be polite and professional.

I had the opportunity to go to a conference in New York when I was married but decided not to because a married woman at my work was also going. Her and I shared an office and talked daily. Good chance we would have had sex since she bashed her husband constantly.

I went to Mexico in 1997 with a lady friend. We were both married, and she was starting a new bidness (gift store selling silver and pewter products).
On her husband's suggestion, we slept in the same hotel bedroom on two of the stops.
He was my kind of cheapskate.
No, no sex was involved and no animals were injured in the production.

I’m in my 50’s and have traveled a bunch throughout my career and never had an issue like this. I’ve considered it may be her, and honestly I don’t know. I’m getting most of this second hand from my boss. I don’t interact with her much at work, and the vast majority of our interaction is via email.

This chick has got to be hot for his husband to be this jealous and this scared

Sounds like your boss should’ve been more discreet about his private convo with the other employee.
My wife isn’t a big fan with me working around attractive younger women… it stems from her dad cheating on her mom with one of his employees. I wouldn’t be too quick to judge how people feel about certain situations.

She’s not hot. She’s not ugly, just sort of plain-Jane and homely. She is kind of meek and is possibly just making a bigger deal of it than her husband is. I don’t know. I’ve never met him and don’t know a thing about their marital dynamics.

Women generally are terrible co-workers. I speak from experience. They are uptight as hell, full of drama, and focus on a tremendous amount of bullshite that doesn’t move the needle or make money. It’s exhausting.

I would agree. She and I have worked together for several years and she often tells me more than I want and more than she should. It’s her biggest flaw, but I’ve never shared anything she’s told me in confidence with anyone else in the office.

100% the husband is going so the couple can enjoy a mini-vacation with hotel, ground transportation, and some of the food paid for by the company.
They’ll be on a different flight but it will be the Friday before or, more likely, the Sunday after. Every night will be dinner with her husband.
But you are in a professionally dangerous situation. If you do not communicate with her in any way during the conference, she can go to HR and claim you intentionally hurt her career by not inviting her to meals with clients, for example. I would send her a very brief email invitation to any relevant client meetings with time/location and some advice on how to get there; never offer to go together. Tell her “this is a good opportunity for you to meet with X to talk about Y.” Don’t say it will be fun or the food is good or anything.
Other than that, don’t sit by her, don’t start a conversation, don’t worry about her husband being there. Document the heck out of your expense report so maybe they’ll ask her to do the same and it might raise some questions.

Make her feel good about herself, tell her “man if she wasn’t married, you’d be all over her”! Tell her it’s just your rotten luck she’s unavailable! Sounds like her and her husband need a boost!

As of this morning he’s not going, but if he does his flight and meals are on him. We are very strict about that stuff.

I already did that this morning. This is a continuing Ed type conference with lots of vendors there that would be courting us. I told her which booths to hit and even CC’d my contacts with those vendors on my email to give a first introduction. I have friends and family in Chicago I’ll be spending my evenings with. The shitty part is the conference is up by O’Hare a haul from downtown.
This ain’t my first rodeo.
