    Font - AITA for telling my coworker that it's not my fault that she's single when she said that it's not okay for my husband to send me gifts at our workplace? I think I should clarify that he does not show up to my work to deliver the gifts in person, he usually sends me breakfast because I can't have breakfast early in the morning, so when he goes to work he stops by my favorite cafe and he orders what he knows I like and tells them where the order should be delivered. The owners are his frien

    Font - Also, it bothers her that I put photos of my children and my husband on my desk, which doesn't even make sense because those photos are on my side of the office, sadly this is not the first time she says that I am being unprofessional (for her having photos of your children in the office is not professional) so I don't know how I should act to please her My (26F) husband (50M) sends me gifts at work every day since we started dating, he usually sends me a rose and a coffee with a note wis

    Font - He's a very romantic and attentive man and I love that but my coworker (40'sF) doesn't like it at all. Yesterday he sent me some croissants and a coffee with a note saying he loved me, and when my coworker saw it she said I should tell him to stop, that it's not appropriate to receive gifts every day and another coworker told her that she was being bitter and that it's nice to have such a loving husband, that since l'm pregnant it was understandable that he spoiled me so much, but she ins

    Font - And that made me so mad because l'm professional enough, the things my husband sends me don't bother anyone, and they're not a distraction to me either but according to her they are. So I told her that it is not my fault that she is single and does not receive anything from anyone, that maybe if she were not so bitter someone would send her at least a coffee, and she got angry and now she told everyone that I was rude and that if I don't apologize, she will talk to HR to see "what they ca

    Font - Dezzys2 · 11h ESH. Sending stuff to work everyday is honestly a bit try-hard and unprofessional. Why can't he get you flowers at home? Because then you wouldn't have a command audience for your Grand Romance. I would roll my eyes as your coworker too. She should have ignored it... and when she said something you could have been less snide about her single status. I worked with a woman whose husband sent jewelry and ginormous florals every major holiday... no one minded. She was pleasant a

    Font - FoxyFalcon · 2h NTA. While it may be unproffesional to get personal with her too, I probably would have snapped at a certain point aswell. She sounds bitter and jealous. The best thing to do is to go to your boss and/or HR and explain the situation to them. Apologise for your remark towards her personally and again while HR/ your boss are present. If she continues being rude towards you, they will pick up on it and repremand her for her behaviour. It's not disruptive nor inappropiate to r

    Font - Lots of people in this sub are judging you on the age gap, not on the sweet gesture of your husband. It isn't creepy or "pissing on his property/ territory". Please ignore them, people are quick to judge. I know from personal experience age caps aren't all toxic or unhealthy, something lots of people don't want to understand or can accept. G Reply 仓5 ...

    Font - Kamenovski • 7h NTA, I'm confused here, you don't get breakfast, why does no one see this as making sure you have food? Oh no, your SO feeds you and thinks of you, and you enjoy it and don't want it to stop. What's the difference if you ordered doordash or something everyday and have it delivered? Just because the routine is he does it, it's all the sudden a bad thing? I think every one just like at the age gap and decided automatically on that. G Reply 1 27 3 ...

    Rectangle - CraptainToad • 8h NTA. I'm a bit perplexed by all the Y. T. As here. Your coworker should just mind her own business. Regarding the age gap, unless this guy groomed you, you knew what you were signing up for at G Reply 4 46 3 ...

    Rectangle - Significant-Bat-1168 · 8h NTA you said you get these gifts at the workplace ? Another coworker backed up up and tried to shut her down as well. The age gap doesn't really come into play in this situation I'm sorry people are comparing you to property being pissed on. 6 Reply 1 31 ...

    Font - delira76 · 8h NTA. It's sweet that your husband is thoughtful. Lots of women get jealous when they're witnessing a sweet gesture that has faded in their relationship or have never received. Talk to HR, explain that food is delivered to you (doesn't matter who's ordering) and that your coworker has an odd tendency to monitor you when she's not management and she is unprofessional when she interrupts your work to complain about non work related issues. Good luck and don't insult her again a
