I imagine there being quite a bit of friction between them initially. I think Trapper would find B.J. to be a square, uptight, killjoy, while B.J. would take issue with Trapper's remorseless extra-marital activities and finding humor in Louise's justifiable paranoia.
I really don't believe Trapper cheated out of any of those things, I honestly believe he was a swinger; yes, he was impulsive and happy-go-lucky (qualities that Waynes Rogers said made him feel more comfortable in that role as opposed to playing Hawkeye), but he fooled around for the fun of it and held no remorse or guilt for his actions, and again, there's been tims where he'd receive letters from Louise hinting that she's worried about him cheating on her, and he finds them to be humorous because they're true. We even have this exchange frm the pilot:
TRAPPER: Bad news from my wife, she still loves me. Would you believe it? She still believes I got sent to Korea as part of some secret plot to cheat on her.
HAWKEYE: Well, didn't you?
TRAPPER: Yeah, but how did she figure it out?
I will say this though, I can totally see Trapper and B.J. treating each other with professional respect: both took their jobs as surgeons very seriously, and Trapper certainly was a very dedicated surgeon. Maybe overtime, they could develop a better mutual respect for each other, and maybe some of B.J. could rub off on Trapper as did Hawkeye, but I still see any initial relationship between the two of them to be fiery as opposed to how quickly Beej became friends with Hawk.

Trapper/B.J

I'm sure this has been asked before but I think its been awhile... What kind of friendship do you see Trapper/B.J. having if Hawkeye had been the one to leave?
I've always thought that they wouldn't get along. Hawkeye, being single, could go out with whomever he pleased. Trapper was married, but cheated like crazy. Remember how racked with guilt B.J was over the one night stand that he'd had with the nurse that got a Dear Jane letter.
I think he would've seriously looked down on Traps activities. I also think that they had different types of sense of humors, and that Hawk's humor were far more compatible with B.J
