DearPrudie: This name is extremely personal, and she’s being incredibly cruel.
I stopped drinking last year and will soon celebrate one year sober. I am also retiring. When my spouse retired last year, it was during my early days of sobriety and their party was a big stressor for me. Looking ahead to my retirement, I know that they are going to want to return the favor and host some kind of event for me. Frankly, I am okay not throwing a party for several reasons.
Is there a way to navigate this so people don’t waste their money on a gift that will not be used? Any suggestions are very much appreciated.I can’t tell whether you want to keep your sobriety private, or if you simply haven’t gotten around to letting people know.
Both are married, but Joe’s wife “Jane” works for a different department as a supervisor. I had the unfortunate luck to discover Mary and Joe have been using me as a cover to their spouses and our bosses.On business trips, Mary would disappear at night saying she was meeting up with ‘old friends.” Only I caught her coming out of Joe’s room. They have also told people we were all going out to lunch together as a team when I was eating alone.
I am the youngest and most recent hire at my company. I felt like I had no choice but to ignore it. During the lockdown, we all worked from home and didn’t see each other in person. I thought everything blew over until Jane pulled me aside and told me she didn’t appreciate my flirty tone with her husband even though she knew I was gay and didn’t mean any harm with my texts.I froze up. I never gave Joe my private number. I apologized to Jane, and now I don’t know what to do.
