I got outed at work

[Bernadine]

Oh, that's shitty. I'm sorry. I don't tell many people either, because I can't stand the pity.

[Kit]

I'm so sorry, you have every right to be upset. I'd definitely ask her how she knows.

Are you sure the one person you told didn't tell anyone?

[elleblue]

Oh crap littleduck, I'm sorry.

My friend here is a GBCNer and she definitely didn't breathe a word. I completely trust her.

Gotcha. I'm sorry this happened.

Ugh. This sucks so much LD. I know how little control we have over this whole process....and it sucks when something you DO have control over- who knows about it- is taken away from you.


{{{hugs}}}

[AHappierHour]

I'm so sorry

I bet the person snooped, eavesdropped, or just plain guessed and had the balls to "confirm" with you.

Not her news to spread.

How gross.

[shamrockshake]

I am sorry, what a shitty asshole she is for spreading it around

[loira]

I'm so sorry. It's awful when something so private and personal is made public without your consent.

[WOT?*]

I am so sorry. It is your story to tell in the way you choose (or not) to tell

[cville]

What a bitch. The original snooper/teller and every.single.person who approaches you with sad eyes rather than let you be and just STFU about it. There are ways to be sensitive without also being prying assholes.

[slcjess]

Ugh, I'm so sorry. Even if she heard gossip/eavesdropped, it was shitty of her to come talk to you about it. At work. It is your business to tell or not. Hopefully, even if she does tell everyone at the office, they have more tact.

[panbitch]

I'm sorry.

[Monica Geller]

I'm sorry littleduck. You are allowed to be upset! People need to mind their own damn business.

[1confused1]

I'm really sorry.

[Deleted]

I'm sorry. I would be so upset. Hopefully they move on quickly.

[cherryvalance]

You are definitely not unreasonable to be upset with this. I would be livid and hurt in equal measure.

I don't know if you feel this way also, but the sad eyes piss me off because then it becomes a situation where you have to comfort them. "Thanks, I'm fine. No, it's okay." Fuck them.

[captainobvious]

That sucks. I'm sorry.

To insert a bit of levity here, my first thought when I read your thread title was that your GBCN habit was discovered.

Because that is my own worst nightmare. LOL.

(I understand this pales in comparison!)

(heart)

[pantsparty]

Ugh. I am so sorry I would hate this as well.

[Deleted]

I'm so sorry

[Deleted]

I'm sorry.

Hopefully she has some sense and tells no one. Or if she does they shut it down for you as none of anyone's business and it's NOT gossip.

I'd still have at the ready "why would you gossip about something like that?" or even "you do realize how hurtful this topic is, right?" and let them be embarrassed. Because this is NOT a reflection of you.

[cabbagecabbage]

I am so sorry.

Is it possible this person just had a light bulb moment and realized prodding someone about their family planning is rude as hell and was apologizing? Like, maybe a friend explained how that was not ok and *ding* she realized she'd been a shit to you?

Hahahaha okay this would be my worst nightmare after the one I'm living right now. Thanks, Miso.

Just imagine if your office flirt knew! Haha

But I think this confirms that I need to revisit this IVF thing. Unless we get a magical vacation baby next month

Oh, he would be ZERO SURPRISED.  Hahahahaha.

But he is a big dork, too, with a clock with sin, cos, and tan shit on it.  I don't even fully understand it myself.  LOL.

He just happens to be ripped, too.  It's all very unexpected.

In any event, while we always say that THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE, I do think this board is a safe harbor for you to discuss such things.  So many women here have similar experiences and can help or just listen whenever you need it.

And even those who haven't will certainly listen, too.

[Muddled]

What a violation. I'm so sorry. I would really hate that.

[kaybee85]

I'm sorry littleduck even if she heard it and didn't think of it on her own, totally inappropriate to ask and mega asshole levels to spread the word. To hide her own salivating for gossip with an apology? Are you fucking kidding me? If she truly felt bad, she could have refrained from further jokes about it. ((hugs))

[frkls]

that sucks!!! what is wrong with people!!? huge hugs, LD!

Wait, he is also ripped? Damn. I need a pic of him more than I needed a pic of Laz's yard guy, lol.

Kitchen Flirt is quite a manly specimen.  Tall, somewhat burly but not a beefcake, and 35.  Yet nerdy.  It's so weird.

Adorable Baby Attorney is a scrawny hipster with a great sense of humor, a sometimes-beard, and a great singing voice.  He recently 'fessed up to being in an a capella group in college.  LOL.
