    AITAH for talking to my husband's CEO's wife and embarassing him? My husband is the vice president of a large company and I am a SAHM, but his job requires going to a lot of events and I've always thought I nailed it.

    Recently he told me the owner of the company was having a dinner because they surpassed a financial goal. She has this gorgeous house on the ocean and was bringing in a celebrity chef. It sounded amazing, but he told me no spouses were invited. That seemed super weird and tacky to me.

    The day after the party he was talking about this boat he wants, and how he talked to the owners husband who is also into boating. I was like oh so he was there. My husband got annoyed and said it's his house he lives there.

    I thought it was weird to ban other people's spouses and have yours there. I moved on but it was bothering me. Then the stars aligned and I ran into the CEO's wife while I was out shopping. We live near them and occasionally run into each other, but it felt like a sign, so I asked her about the party and she confirmed she was there. I asked if everyone else's wife was there and she confirmed.

    Well my husband is now furious because she told her husband who laughed at him. He says i breeched our trust when i talked to her, and now he is getting teased at work. He said I should be more careful as this is his career.

    [deleted] OP He says it is because I embarrass him but I feel it is because he wanted to spend his time with the female president of marketing who is single and probably wouldn't have brought anyone

    Caspian4136 I'm sorry. He lied to you and now everyone at work knows he lied, but as far as I'm concerned, he made his bed so he gets to sleep in it. The only one who should be more careful of his career is him. I saw another comment you made, did he say what you do exactly that is "embarrassing"?

    crypticXmystic NTA. You didn't embarrass him. His lie being found out is what embarrassed him. If he was honest there would have been no problem.

    Used_Mark_7911 NTA He's the one that lied, not you. The lie is the breach of trust. You have bigger issues than whether you got invited to a party or not. Talk to him about the health of your relationship and your marriage.

    JuliaX1984 NTA Why do liars always act like others have no right to find out or acknowledge when they lie?

    kehlarc So many red flags in your post and your comments. I don't know where you are financially but you need to think about an exit strategy. Your husband doesn't respect you, doesn't think you are good for his career, and, according to you, has the hots for a co-worker.

    Your first priority is to protect yourself in the likely event that your husband divorces you or makes your marriage unbearable enough for you to want to leave.
