My husband came home from work today. He is in the military. He said “we have someone new in the shop I knew from tech school.” (This was over 13 years ago, as he’s been in for about 14 years). Tech school is like the specialized training they receive after basic training. Anyway. I was like “oh really? That’s cool.” He said “I don’t really like her.” I said “why not?” And he just was really quiet explaining that she’s a know it all, and has a “hard to like personality.” I was just like “okay well I guess you don’t have to work with her then lol”. He works in civil engineering so most of his work is solo office or field work. He was quiet through dinner and then brought her up again. He said “she’s really short and tiny. Not sure how she can handle this job.” I was like “well she’s made it this far…” but I started feeling self conscious pretty immediately. I was super thin when we first got married and now I’m about 45lbs more and hate my body. He kept bringing her up though. He never just randomly brings up coworkers like this. He told me she’s from New Jersey, and then she went to South Carolina, and is now where we are. He also made sure to mention she’s not married and doesn’t have any kids. I was just like “alright…” and didn’t really continue because like why would I care about this coworker you supposedly don’t even like? His demeanor was off. He was quiet and like he was holding back something. He just kept saying “I don’t like her.” Like… okay? Then stop talking about her?

So what do you think?
