Woman at work

[Gerijrich]

So my partner of 14 years comes in and say do you mind if I put a curtain track up for ann who I work with. She suggested Tuesday but told I couldn't. Is it normal for a single woman to ask that of a man she has only worked with since June!! I know I am sensitive sometimes so thought I would ask

They've worked together for over six months.

There's nothing abnormal in this situation.

Sounds fine to me.

Gone with him if you're worried!

That would be ridiculous.

He's doing a work colleague a favour. He sounds like a good man.

Do you have any ready to mistrust him?

*gone with him if you're worried"
😂 how embarrassing!

Not seeing the issue whatsoever ?+

Does he have a track record of falling into women he does DIY for?

How far away does the colleague live?

Odd but sounds innocuous, has DP been showing off his practical skills at work

If there is nothing going on there should not be an issue if op tags a long ... perfect opportunity to meet work colleague 🤷🏻‍♀️

Except the colleague will know that his wife doesn't trust him.

It all depends whether or not you trust him op. Even if Ann were to throw herself at him or do a sexy dance with the curtain pole then surely your man would put her straight? Right?

Just because the situation could happen it doesn't mean that he would be obliged. Ann may not have any interest in him other than a friend/colleague. She may have no family to help her out. I wouldn't worry at all.

She must have make friends, friends with husbands.......

I have never asked a man I work with to put up a curtain track or do any DIY.

I've never asked a colleague to help me with DIY. Takes all sorts.

Hmm I wouldn’t be ok with this. It is unprofessional of her to ask him.

Is your dp a handyman though?

Must be difficult for a woman on her own needing some basic DIY if they're not good at it - give her a break and hopefully your DH can help her

If he turns up and she's at the door wearing crotch less pants then maybe he should make an excuse

she must have male friends, friends with husbands

Or know a woman who is capable of putting up a curtain track. Or be able to Google and YouTube stuff for herself.

Is he fit?

They'll even tell you that shit at B&Q.

Get a grip of yourself, it's work not a bar

Maybe he actually offered and then thought better of saying that, so said she asked him?

I had a male colleague help me move some furniture. He has a van, I don't. Another helped me paint a room. Hes tall I'm not.

I seriously hope their wives didn't think I was hitting on them!

I wouldn't be ok with this, it's weird.
