Boss’s wife said she doesn’t like me because I’m “beautiful”

[TheFirmStork]

I’m in my early 30s, educated and work as a PA to a very senior man. I’m good at my job and earn well.

At a recent work function I met his wife properly for the first time. During a conversation she said she doesn’t like me because I’m beautiful and that she feels her husband spends more time with me than he does with her. She also said I’m getting all the “good bits” of him while she gets the “crappy bits”.

I was honestly quite taken aback by that. I’ve always been completely professional and my relationship with him is strictly work-related.

AIBU to think that was an odd and uncomfortable thing for her to say?

Jealous cow 😂. Take it as a compliment and steer clear of him because she obviously has reason not to trust him.

It’s a her problem. Their marriage is obviously in trouble.

Mentionitis?! 😂 brilliant!!

Hmmm .... Seems they have some marriage problems. Focus on your job and keep things strictly professional between you.

I really admire you for being so honest. I’ve been the ‘younger woman’ in the scenario you describe, except I wasn’t seeking out conversations with the man or asking for favours. He just used to come over chatting to me a lot and I didn’t see it as anything untoward, but his wife obviously felt differently.
