'She's been utterly betrayed by her entire office and her husband:' Entitled boss brings married employees to the brink of quitting and divorcing after getting husband to secretly push wife out of huge company deal

Dating a co-worker has never worked in the system. If you have experienced this, then you know, it always tends to get messy. But when you are married, working with your hubby doesn't seem too bad. As long as you aren't driving each other nut in the office, then it could work. Until it doesn't. A happily married couple that are also coworkers are now on the bring of divorce because of the actions of their boss. Both the hubby and wifey work in upper management and felt confident in their jobs. They worked hard and even got double the bonus this passed quarter. However, something the CEO did recently started an avalanche of consequences. The CEO has been talking about retiring and throwing around the idea of selling the company to his upper management. The wife has been included in these discussions until recently.

It seemed like a normal day until everybody but her and the company's book keeper was called into a meeting. She asked everyone what was going on, even her husband, and nobody would tell her. She found out after that it was a meeting where the CEO officially put the offer on the table for upper management to buy him out of the company. Apparently they had been planning this meeting for weeks and to add insult to wound, they even went out for a nice lunch afterwards on the company's dime.

She couldn't believe the level of betrayal she felt—not only from her place of establishment, but also from her husband. He had known for at least a week that she was going to be pushed out of the deal and he never said a word to her. In his mind, he was just being a good employee, but in her eyes, the entire office betrayed her and then on top of that, the man who made a vow to her, the one person she is supposed to be able to trust with her life, sided with the company that just betrayed her. She has no idea what to do and takes to Reddit for advice. Should she quit and work on the marriage? Should she divorce her husband because of his breach of trust? Should she Quit and divorce? Redditors flock to the comments to add their two cents.
