I've been dating my girlfriend for two years. We've talked about marriage briefly and casually but as we are still quite young, we have no concrete plans to settle down in the near future. The first year with my girlfriend was a very loving year. We respect each other and have full trust in one another till she found a second job (her current job actually) as a personal assistant. As a personal assistant to her superior, she needs to travel frequently overseas with him and also has a lot more interaction and contact with him than me I would say. I am usually not the easily get jealous sort of boyfriend but I don't feel good about this one. Maybe it's due to the nature of her job, she has to respond to every beck and call of her superior. Sometimes it even affects our dates on weekends. For instance, we could have a date on Saturday and a last minute call from 'him' would make her fly to his side for work. It makes me feel he did this on purpose. This sometimes ridiculously involves parties (business dealings as she claims) on yachts or private meetings with him in a hotel room or resort. I have not met this guy but somehow, my gut instinct tells me that I can't trust him and in fact I don't trust him more. My girlfriend is generally an innocent (sometimes somewhat naive) girl that I'm afraid she would be taken advantage of one day.
I have broached the topic before with her but she just reassured me that it's all professional work and that there's nothing going on. Despite her reassurance, I just felt uncomfortable about her working hours and nature of her job. I don't think it's fair for me to request her to quit her job. We have a great relationship thus far and I don't want to ruin it too but I just can't get rid of these uneasy feelings.
Am I reading too much into these? Is there something I could do to improve the situation?
