How Much Should a Work Mate know about you and your spouse

I need some feedback here......

What if your mate, spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend worked with someone, and every single time there was a get together or office gathering this person tried to bring up everything they knew about you that they heard from your spouse.  I mean to the point where you can't even finish a story without them jumping in and finishing it for you.  This person would bring up stuff about your in laws and would just tell stories trying to show you how much they know about your mate.  They would tell stories about when your spouse was a kid and **** that happened in your dam house last week or 5 years ago for that matter.  Would you be pist????

I don't mean like they are trying to date them but want to show off that they know more than you do, when you live with them.

Feedback please

That's just a person that has no class because most of us have "work" husbands or wives that we tell things to.  BUT that person is not supposed to let your mate/friend know they are the person your SO confides in at work.  This sound like an insecure person that needs to feel special and important. 

I would be a little pissed (I hate people tellin my "business") but I would not sweat it because most people have "work spouses".

The term work spouse is just not cool.  I'll ignore that but I do like what you said and I agree this person has absolutely no ******g class and is insecure

I would be mad because they would know too much about me. When I was a teacher, we talked about our spouses a little bit but not too personal. Heck there are things that I don't even share with my family about my hubby but that's just me. I like to be somewhat private.

Hey Rita
The fact that they know **** about me doesn't bother me it's that this asshole tries to flex their knowledge of Becca and tries to play this  "I know more about her than you know" bull **** game.
I don't expect Becca not to talk to people about stuff but what I don't get is why you gotta be so dam stupid and try to prove that you know more about my life than I know.

I personally feel that home should be home and work should be work.  I know that there are times that I will share something that my husband said or did but never anything too deep.  I think that there are times when people feel that they are close enough to you that they can say or do anything.  I would definitely check him or her and tell them that they may have known your mate before you but it still doesn't give them a right to tell any of your business. That's just my opinion :-)

We have only know this chick for 4 years.  Thing is everyone in the dept has lunch together and they all know a lot about each other and so it's not like the others don't know about us and I don't know about them but this Biotch is the only one that does this, no one else does.

What would you do if your spouse asked you not to say anything to the person cause they have to work with them?

I would honor the request as best as I could. My committment is to my spouse, not to the friend.  I guess if you have to deal with the person for work related reasons, it could prove difficult. But again, I would do my very best to avoid that person: AFTER I told them off...LOL

Not a dayum thang!  Now that I am older and wiser....I go to work and work....nothing personal is ever discussed!

I focus not on my disabilty; my focus is on my ABILITIES.

Same here I don't talk personal life with anyone when i'm working and if I knew Becca didn't like the person I sure in hell wouldn't be talking about personal stuff to them, even if I did like the person, but that's just me.   They are a close small groups and talk to each other a lot.
