Attention whore at work
Discussion
A mate of mine is getting stick off one of his colleauges, basically she is an attention w
e who spills her guts to the whole department on every possible private situation.
This week she's got MS (she hasn't BTW), she called a group huddle for this one, wheelchair in a few months, gened all the info from the internet.
My mate has given her some gentle ribbing re her recent expose on her husbands' porno usage. Only to get this response via email this morning from her OH:
The OH is having an affair BTW, by her own ommision (take of that what you will)
Dear XXXX
I have never had the need to fight any of my wife’s battles before, but she came home from work in a terrible state today, in floods of tears. When I got to the bottom of the problem, it appears to have been a couple of things you have said to her today, mostly in respect of an issue of me reading certain literature! Please refrain from commenting on anything to do with our personal life as this is not appropriate office banter. My marriage and sex life is not the kind of topic which is professional to be mentioned within the workplace. I have told xxxxx that as she has been upset so much by your comments that she should take this further, however, because she can act in an appropriate manner she is refusing, but this doesn’t mean that as a devoted husband I will tolerate my Wife being put in such a difficult, upsetting position.
Also, she tells me that you often make comment as to a lot of our personal life and gain cheap laughs at her expense and again I would ask if this is appropriate and whether you would like your partner to be spoken to in such a manner. I am aware that xxxxx t she does take things very much to heart and can be very sensitive, and even if she responds with a comment in retaliation, the chances are she has taken what you have said to heart and again I would ask you to think before you speak. I don’t like to think that my wife is being bullied in any respect. We all like a joke, but please watch the line, especially allowing for the fact of how venerable xxxxx is.
xxxxx isn’t aware that I am contacting you and I hope that you respect my confidence and not mention this to her, nor do I want my comments to encourage you to victimize her for my opinions, but I do ask that you show her a little more respect that you currently do.
I am certain that it has never been your intention to upset, but you really have by your comments yesterday, and unfortunately it isn’t the first time, as there have been many occasions where she has dreaded coming into work in fear of what might be said, and I am sure you would be surprised to know that she is even considering leaving XXX because of you and the current situation.
If you have any issue with the contents of this email do feel free to write back, please don’t put xxxxx in an even more awkward position of addressing the matter directly with her, especially allowing for the explicit conversation which took place yesterday, which really did embarrass her.
xxxxxxx
Could the PH massive please advise on the response for the above correspondance?

Tell him, his dumb bint of a wife is spilling the beans on their, sex life, marriage state, medical conditions and money worries/trouble, and should expect comments of any nature on these, by making these items available for public comment and discussion.
PS Exactly how much is she making at the pole dancing bar?, and where is it as you would be willing to make a suitable contribution when you and the guys from work make a visit there.

respond to the effect that it her thats been telling all & sundry about their personal life and how inappropriate that is in the workplace. comment on her state of mind, attention seeking, inability to do her job, whaterver, then CC it 'by mistake' to her, your boss, and HR. sod it, everyone in your address book. be sure to follow this up with a one line apology to him for you 'terrible mistake'.
Either the OH is a spineless wonder and does what she tell him
OR
He is actually cheating on her and he doesn't want to rile her further, knowing that she is a dab hand with a kitchen knife
Either way: A series of orbital thermonuclear strikes and kicks administered to the facial region will probably solve the problem.
On the other hand, signing her e-mail up to a load of porn sites using her husbands name might work too.

Bugger, misread title with an additional comma and exclamation mark and was hoping for some interesting details.
As to the letter, do as others have already said, respond to husband with details of her lack of discretion at work and suggest she is reaping as she sowed.
P.S.
