'He loved video games more than her': 20-year-old tells her 40-year-old coworker that his divorce was his fault because he never said anything positive about his wife

Nobody in their 40s should be relying on a 20-year-old to counsel them in their failed relationships.

We've all had those coworkers who love to tell us about their personal lives. On one hand, there's nothing inherently nefarious about telling your coworker what you did this weekend or a funny story that happened to you outside of the workplace. If you're going to spend around 40 hours a week with these people, it's valuable to get to know them as individuals rather than just the normie blank-slate coworkers you would see in coworker memes. 

While getting to know your coworkers is all well and good, there's always somebody who takes it too far. They think it's appropriate to tell you all of the happenings of their romantic relationships, and that can get old really quickly. They will tell you the same stories over and over again, to the point where it's pretty apparent why they are having relationship problems, but you can't tell them that because it might make the work environment hostile. At the same time, they were the ones who made the work environment uncomfortable in the first place.
