Fed up with colleague rimming this down my throat?

I’ve a colleague who I get along with at work, we chat and know a reasonable amount about each other.

She has dated a few people over the past year of two, she’s currently seeing someone who is getting divorced. It seems to be getting a bit serious in her words (only been a few weeks) and they’ve discussed buying a house down the line.

He has a very well paying job and she has said they’ll either be able to buy somewhere and be Mortgage free, or buy a big house in a great area which she never thought she’d be able to live in. Great, I do want her to be happy.

My ‘AIBU’ is whether I am wrong to feel fed up with her mentioning his wealth at every opportunity, and how she could never dream of ‘being mortgage free at her age’. It is starting to feel gloaty now…

Well that wasn’t the post I expected to read!

She would be very foolish to be putting this much store on a relationship of a few weeks standing.
And yes, tedious to listen to.

Wauwinet · 09/06/2026 18:52

She’s doing what to you at work??

Yikes, that would be very unpleasant. Have a chat with HR 😂

Rachelshair · 09/06/2026 18:52

Won't his wife get half of it if he's not yet divorced? Even supposing it's true!

Smile and drink your coffee.
she has only known him a few weeks and he is probably embellishing his wealth to sound great. It’s also highly unlikely he is going to put her name on the deeds if it’s his money buying the house, sounds like she is caught up in the fantasy.

Shame. I thought this post was going to be far more exciting…

GingerbreadHen7 · 09/06/2026 18:53

Getting serious after a few weeks with a man who’s going through a divorce?… The buying of a house will never happen.

Report the title to have it changed, or the thread will be pointless. YANBU.

Moveoverdarlin · 09/06/2026 18:54

It’s been a few weeks, probs won’t even last.

youalright · 09/06/2026 18:54

Don't burst her bubble its new she's excited. Reality will slap her before long let her have her moment

Two2TooAlsoToToward · 09/06/2026 18:55

Don’t blame you—I don’t want to get rimmed at work either. 💩🤢

reallyagainplease · 09/06/2026 18:56

In answer to your question, you can’t get her to stop. Just keep saying “that would be lovely.” “So pleased for you”

Jellox · 09/06/2026 18:56

I had a colleague like this.

Constantly went on about how much money he had and all these big plans they had together, how they were going to buy land and do this and that etc.
But it would follow with questions like “you don’t own your home do you? You really need to sort that”, “I’m planning to start my own business with the farm he’s buying, are you planning to work here forever” etc.

It was tedious.
But then he regularly cheated on her and then dumped her, so she humbled herself.

Or potentially far more entertaining than the (sensible) responses on repeat that Rimmer is delusional, getting way ahead of herself, highly likely being duped and being really fucking annoying.

Error404FucksNotFound · 09/06/2026 18:57

She sounds like a gold digger. Not sure why she thinks youd be envious or impressed that she's latched onto someone with money.

Oooh I needed the chortle your title gave me today! 🤣

FebruaryClouds · 09/06/2026 18:58

Obviously the title typo is excellent

but actually OP, I’d be a bit worried about her - getting serious after only a few weeks with a man who’s getting divorced? Potential red flags already, she needs to go careful. Ignore her chat about all the money however annoying it is, and check she’s not being lovebombed and getting in too deep too fast
