Fed up with colleague rimming this down my throat?

[Glasgowrache]

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…

Why are you giving her the time of day.
Can't you have your coffee somewhere else. Or when she speaks to you say. Sorry you are busy.

Her story sounds like complete BS

So after likely giving half of the marital assets to his wife, including the existing house, and paying child support he is likely not going to be mortgage free himself and I doubt his plans include putting her on the deeds and making her mortgage free at a stroke. She might get to move to pay "rent", and provide domestic and sexual services to the chap - the cooking, the cleaning, the grocery shopping etc. Just keep saying vaguely, "How lovely". I think reality is going to catch up with her shortly.

Thanks for the laugh with the title !

Sounds like a lot of things will have to fall into place for her to have this dream come true. No point saying anything to her as she’s in a bubble, but I would just be very busy and distracted when she talks and not comment back at all if you can help it. The more you engage in it now the more you’ll be dragged into it if it all goes wrong and she wants to talk to you about that too.

Reply with "that's nice for you" and move on to another subject.

This. Just nod and smile.
If it happens, good luck to her. But seems very premature of her.

Thanks all. She’s not a younger woman compared to him, they are both mid 40’s and knew each other for a while through a social setting (think a club). So maybe it will work. She just seems fixated on the possibilities financially and with the house considering it’s so early.

Lol my reaction too!
