A woman divided Redditors after she told her husband’s coworker that he was not her “gay best friend” as she seemed to think. It all played out in a very public forum that left the coworker stunned and embarrassed. Here is the full story.
They Think He’s Gay
OP is a bisexual woman who is married to a bisexual man.
She says that her husband is effeminate, which leads many people to assume he is gay.
She Has to Correct Them
In fact, there have been several occasions during their marriage when OP has explicitly introduced herself as his wife just to let everyone know that her hubby is not gay.
He Had a Fan at Work
The husband had mentioned to OP on a couple of occasions that one of his coworkers was a little clingy and overbearing.
OP thought it sounded like the colleague had a crush on her husband, but it seemed like no big deal.
Let’s Talk About Sexuality
But then at a work party, OP struck up a conversation with a group of people, and the subject of sexuality came up.
OP mentioned that she was bisexual.
She Had a Gay Best Friend
That sparked a fire with one of the other women in the group, who said that her best friend at work was gay, and she named OP’s husband.
She Wanted to Be Sure
Just to be sure she heard right, OP asked the other woman to clarify.
Sure enough, she was talking about OP’s husband, and OP knew this was the coworker he had complained about.
They Weren’t as Close as She Thought
The whole thing irked OP just enough that she lashed back by telling the other woman that she wasn’t as close to her “best friend” as she thought.
Otherwise, he would have told her that he was bisexual and was married to a woman.
She Had a Simple Answer
The husband’s coworker looked surprised, then asked OP to prove that her friend was both bi and married to a woman.
To that, OP simply pointed to her wedding ring.
They Knew All Along
The rest of the group of people in the conversation burst out laughing.
Most of them had known what was coming since they were friends with OP and her husband.
She Didn’t Mean to Cause a Scene
The coworker was clearly humiliated and slinked away into the crowd.
OP felt kind of bad for the woman. She hadn’t intended to embarrass her.
She Made a Difference
But after the incident, OP’s husband never complained to her about his clingy coworker again, so the message must have gotten through to her.
OP views it as a stroke of luck that she was able to help improve her husband’s work environment.
She Did Get a Little Snarky
But part of OP still feels guilty for making the other woman look bad in front of a group of people. And she admits that her response was a little nasty.
It Wasn’t Her Fault
Still, OP thinks the other woman was being presumptuous and pushy with her husband, which is what caused her to snap.
He Never Really Talked to Her
And what OP said was 100% true. According to her husband, he’d never had so much as one serious conversation with the coworker in question. Best friends, indeed!
