[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On what planet were you raised where females in business are required to cozy up to the wives of their male colleagues?

We likely have little in common. I’m sure I’d chatter with you  at a work event as common as his other colleagues. It’s a bottle of scotch. I’m not interested in you from a peer networking point of view. You are way overthinking all of this. [/quote]

Oh hell no.  A smart woman knows who butters her bread.  Hint:  It is not the husband. [/quote]

Maybe if he was her boss. But he’s not.

They’re colleagues. There’s absolutely no need for this lady to waste time trying to connect with his wife.

[b]So you don’t try to meet and talk to your male colleagues wife ever or only if you are interested in that male colleague romantically?  This has been asked before[/b].[/quote]

Let me spell it out for you: I am not romantically interested in anyone at work. I do make an effort to network with both make and female colleagues. However I am not interested in making small talk with anyone’s spouse. Sure, I’ll be polite if we meet out at a work party or other work social event, but I don’t want you texting and calling me. That’s weird!

I would find it weird to get invited to dinner directly by a colleague’s spouse instead of my colleague. Especially because, my friendships at the office tend to be “work friends” - we like each other, we ask how our vacations were, we even go to happy hour together, but we’re not having one-on-one dinners with our families. If I got an invitation from a colleague’s spouse, I would decline, engage minimally and think “Wow. Larlo’s wife has zero boundaries!”
