I started a new job two months ago. My previous job was work from home most of the time with me being in the office 2-3 times a month. 

This job is in the office 3 times a week which I’m enjoying. I started with two other people and I’m in a team of two more plus my manager. 

One of the other new started is male and one of the other people on my team is male so its a pretty even split between men and women. When on the office some of us will go to lunch together and it’s been nice being sociable. 

I was talking to my gf about work at the weekend and she asked if I was going to lunch with just women and I mentioned yeah a few times it’s just been me and a couple of women or me and one woman who I work with. 

She said it’s disrespectful and I shouldn’t be doing it. She said I shouldn’t be going do lunch with other women and I should stop. 

I refused and said it wasn’t disrespectful but she just repeated that it was and that I shouldn’t be doing it. 

I currently work in a job where I work from home most of the time and when I am in the office it’s pretty quick to get to and from. 

I applied for a new job and I’ve been offered it. The new job is in a different town and is primarily on the office but it seems more interesting and it’s better paid so I’ve accepted it, 

When talking to my gf about it she complained that it would mean I’m not home as much but I just pointed out it’s only 40 mins each way so it’s not a massive amount of time. She said I shouldn’t be eating into out time together but I just said I shouldn’t have to stay at a job where I’m unhappy just because she thinks I shouldn’t be able to work a bit further away. 

She just said I shouldn’t expect her to be happy that I’ve got less time with her each evening but I again pointed if it’s only 40 mins a night, we’ll still have hours together. She just said again I should be considering her gut I just reiterated that it’s a better job.

AITA for accepting a job slightly further away?
