If like me, you work in a firm where the people working with you are either married or married, then like me, hearing their conversations only make you even more pessimistic about – marriage.

I went in for work today. C1 was around. I like having her around. She’s a mother of 3. She’s a typical tai-tai, not the average auntie. But anyway I like talking to her, cos’ she’s funny! And can speak many many dialects.

And then C2 came in today. She’s doing freelancing for my boss. Anyway the 2 of them were talking about someone in another firm having extra-marital affair. And C1 happens to know the wife of the man who was having the adultery. And C1 says she won’t go tell her friend even though she already knew about the affair, citing that the wife is really weak and won’t be able to take it.

My heart cringe.

And then. C2 was saying another colleague of hers was with her boyfriend for 3 years, and only found out from the boyfriend’s mum that he’s married! That’s damn sad la. She genuinely didn’t know.

And then they concluded – usually the wives are the last to know.

And C1 commented that next time should just make the husbands go thru’ vasectomy, saying that she don’t want his affairs to bring about illegitimate children to snatch family fortunes in future. She thinks too much.

Then C2 asked my boss, “How? Should I go tell the wife that the husband is having an affair?”

And my boss just said, “Don’t say la. Not your problem.”

What would you do?

I think I’d just tell the other woman off.
