His wife warned me to back off

Dear Bunmi,

I’ve just been promoted to the post of a secretary to one of the top managers in the company I work with. We joined the company together though, he did at a higher level. He has always been a friend and I find him one of the most wonderful men in the world to work with. Unfortunately, he is very unhappy. He’s always told me about his wife’s insane jealousy and nagging.

Quite frequently, we work till late evening and my boss takes me to dinner, nothing fancy, just a meal at a decent but cheap eatery. I see no reason why I should not accept these invitations to share meals with him as he’s also my friend. But his wife objects and has the nerve to tell me to my face. Isn’t this ridiculous?

Dear Kudirat,

If you want to sit on a red hot stove, you are at liberty to do so. And if you want to cut your hair into a boyish look, you’re your own boss. But neither of these projects is as silly as getting yourself mixed up with a married man who talks about his wife to his secretary in a negative way. You’re obviously single or your partner would have put his foot down to such a dangerous liaison.

Just remember that when it comes to the crunch, the average man stays with his wife and family.

Many an unhappy girl who listens to the sad story of a misunderstood hubby has found this out to her regret. If I were you, I’d try if I could get transferred to a contented boss.
