Worked at a job with only members of the opposite sex?
I don't neccessarily mean in an office setting, but in a setting more like retail or the food industry where there are only two or three people in the store at any given time.

I wouldn't. Unless he started having interactions outside of work, or completely refused to talk about work/couldn't shut up about so and so at work. Or if he couldn't wait to get out of bed in the morning and rush to work! I mean, whos excited to go work in retail???
But that would go for any job. Sure if he's going to be a cheater working with only women would make it easier..but he'd find a way to do it regardless of his job and co-workers.

I would have no problem with this. My husband has dealt with the issue for years since I am in an industry that not many women pursue. I often work with 2-10 men at one time. There are no issues if there is total trust in a relationship.

Situation like that is going to cause feelings like that.
I used to run security at a large hotel with a late nite bar and dance floor. Lots of hot babes around all the time and most of the hotel staff was female. My wife's solution to her insecurity was to drop in at random times to bring me dinner or a snack or just to visit. It did several things, it let the other girls know she was a decent wife, so it would be harder to unseat her; two - it let them know there was a chance of her showing up at any time, and three - it gave me an excuse to use if one of the girls was trying to get too friendly and wouldn't take no for an answer.
Try it if you need the crutch, but don't overdo it or you'll damage your relationship - because your partner will think
(quite rightly) that you don't trust them.

No i would not feel jealous or insecure, i trust him. Now if he were to be talking to these woman out of work like over the phone and all i would be a little concerned but until that happens i wouldn't mind.

if i did i'd find another partner.. it's suicide to go into a relationship if your insecure about it.
the problem here is not that your x works on a submarine ..a nd she's the only woman in a 150 person male crew..
the problem here is how you feel about it
if your not feeling secure.. that is something that needs to be addressed. period.
