Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
I have a great secretary the core of the office, and my wife is very jealous of her and wants me to get rid of her. Did anybody have this problem before and how did it end up.

If she is, that can be part of the problem. If you talk to your wife about how great your secretary is, that will also cause a problem. If I ever hired a secretary, she would have to weigh 300 lbs and be a licker, otherwise my wife would be jealous. |

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Easy, just hook up a wireless cam (w/internet YouTube access) for your wife to monitor/watch secretary's desk at her home!.. Nah, .. then she might starts to wonder.... "Why the heck that secretary keeps going into that office bathroom all-da-time!?.. will you be in there too..?? "...LOL..I'm just teasing ya.. j/k..

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Sounds like its your wife's problem.
If there is no hanky panky going on...then she, like most women, hate to feel that they aren't number one in the world. Sounds like she feels threatened by this capable other woman. She needs to use those emotions to push herself to be better at everything she does...not tear down someone else for being the best that they can be. You are in a tough position. Proceed with caution. I wish you the wisdom of Solomon for this one. |

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
It sounds like you are making an excuse to keep her, saying she is the core of the office now I have to wonder how long has all this been going on and how long has she worked there?

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Who's more important?
What can be done to alleviate concerns, but keep productivity? Maybe the wife spends more time in the office? you work from home more? ~Matt |

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Does the Mrs. have an open invitation to visit the office?
Does she exercise it?

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Back some years ago, we had a tall redheaded british girl for a bookkeeper. She was stunning, and, according to most of my foremen, quite "accomodating". My wife never once said a thing. Nor did I ever "do" anything, although I was sorely tempted.

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Get rid of your Secretary and you immediately castrate yourself. You will hand your Cajones over to your Spouse on a Silver Platter. Once this offense has been committed, you can NEVER grow them back. EVER.
Put "The Pants" back on and Rule the Cave!!!! End of Question and Consternation.

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Hey, how do we know the wife isn't the one asking pretending to be her husband? And is the secretary married?

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous WifeQuote:
It does not matter. They said "If there was no fire, there ain't magic smoke!".. So if the wife smelled something "smoking" as of now, then somebody (him) had already B-B-Q someone (sec) many times in the first place!!  Ain't it magic smoke, anyone !!??

Re: Great Secretary, Jealous Wife
Just tell your wife tht she can take over all the secretaries work and problem solved. Maybe give her that option and if she doesn't like that than tell her she left you no choice but to marry the secretary so she can do both jobs!
