This story absolutely disturbs me.
I was talking to my sister (*Maria*) today. She is 25 and has a great job in management at a large national company that manufacturers products that we all use everyday.
Maria met up with coworkers this past weekend for going-away drinks for one of them. She and her boyfriend arrived much later than everybody else. A little after her arrival a superior (but not hers) and his wife said their goodbyes and left.
One of the guys she works with said, ‘Oh by the way *John* (the gentleman who had just left) asked for your phone number and I gave it to him. He’ll be calling you in a little while.’ Well she thought that was strange but didn’t think much of it.
A few minutes later, when her phone rang she answered it in front of the whole group. It was John’s wife. The woman asked Maria why John didn’t introduce the two of them. Maria told John’s wife that she doesn’t know why but she and John have never really talked much. John’s wife said, ‘Sure, I’ve been here before.’
Everyone knew that John and his wife had had some problems a year prior that involved his having an affair. Apparently John thought it was funny to tell his wife that Maria was ‘the girl from last summer’.
My sister was infuriated. How dare he play such awful games with his wife, let alone get her all mixed up in it!
The worst part was that after she hung up with John’s wife her coworkers started talking about how psycho his wife was. They thought it was funny and sat there making fun of the poor lady.
Maria defended her telling them that John shouldn’t treat his wife that way and of course she’s suspicious after the past affair(s) that John had.
