Work colleague said she wants to s**g my husband

Work social last night. I’m currently on mat leave and was in the office for a keeping in touch day followed by a meal and drinks after.

I was driving as I’m still breast feeding and didn’t feel like having more than one drink.

Meal was lovely and a group of about 6/7 of us (all female) went to a bar after for drinks (I’d had a wine with my food so wasn’t drinking by this point).

One of my younger colleagues had clearly enjoyed a few drinks as she was turning the conversation quite sexual. No issue at this point, I’m not a prude and wasn’t really contributing to the discussion.

However, she then asked me whether I’m having much sex now I’m nearly 10 months post partum. I gave the briefest answer I could, that both of us being sleep deprived and getting to grips being new parents meant there wasn’t much ‘us’ time.

She then said something similar to - ‘I’d be all over your DH. I wouldn’t care if I was tired, I’d just lie on my back and take it from him, no need to do any work. If he got bored of that position then I’d just bend over, that can be relaxing too’

I was pretty speechless at this, and no one else said anything either apart from one colleague (also drunk) who laughed and said ‘he’s a bit of alright isn’t he’.

They have never even seen DH in person, he’s in some photos with me online but doesn’t have his own profile anywhere which he would update.

I left soon after and still feel really upset, I’m not the most confident as it is currently and they made me feel utter crap. I am dreading going back to work in a couple of months and seeing them to be honest.

And I agree with other posters, op: it’s not you that should be feeling ashamed or embarrassed here.

She‘ll be mortified when she sobers up! If she isn’t, and blathers on like that again, just tell her that’s not something you care to discuss with her. He’s with you, not her!

Blimey what a vulgar and unprofessional thing to say to a work colleague. Or to anyone in fact.

PiastriThePastry · 21/03/2025 17:39

She was inappropriate, disrespectful to your relationship and, frankly, embarrassing in the way she spoke about your husband but I don’t see why it should have an effect on the way you’re feeling about yourself. And you certainly shouldn’t be dreading going back to work based on this. She embarrassed herself, not you!

I don't think you should feel rubbish about this, they should be embarrassed about speaking like this.

I'd forget about it, and move on.

You’re not unreasonable to feel upset, but you are being unreasonable to let it affect you so much! Your h is clearly attractive - but he’s married you, and he has a child with you.

Your colleagues envy you - so don’t let it make you feel crap.

Your colleagues were BVU to start such an unprofessional conversation with work colleagues. Bonkers. I bet she’s mortified today.

Wooooow! No, I'd be a bit uncomfortable with that as well from work colleagues. My good friends and I are ok with discussing the shaggableness of our DHs but that's crossing a line.

Id chalk it up to drunken idiocy but I'd probably avoid socialising with her again.

Mickeychampionwhatgoodami · 21/03/2025 17:37

Oh once sobriety hit's she'll have beer fear and mortification.
Have fun with it at a later date and watch her squirm.

She’s sound clueless and naive about having kids but hopefully harmless

id shrug it off, they had to much to drink and said some silly stuff.
