So I usually work from home but I have to go to the office every other week or so for a meeting. I became fairly friendly with most of my colleagues. We went out for drinks after work about a month ago but then I left with my partner to go see a film. She made a comment about how good-looking he is. Now every time I see her she says something to the effect of how attractive he is. She'll mention a FaceBook picture I posted of us on the beach or ask about our sex life. This has never happened to me before. I've never spoken or been asked about my sex life with any of my friends, even my close ones. Nor have they said anything about his looks.

I'm not jealous nor am I offended that she notices my partner. She can check him out however much she wants to. I'm glad other women can appreciate him. I notice handsome men all the time, but I don't speak about it to their partners.

I complained about this to another friend, and she said it was my fault for having a good-looking partner in the first place.

I'd try shutting her down. If she comments on his looks I'd start off with something like "Yes, I'm very lucky, we're really happy together" if she bring it up again something like "You've mentioned that before, it sounds like you need to find yourself a man ha ha". I'd keep it light hearted but definitely a push back. If she mentions your sex life I'd just look at her and say "I find that inappropriate" and change the subject.

Why do people keep reviving zombie threads? It's infuriating
