I work in hair salon I hear all the rumors. I literally don't gossip just keep to myself. Well I heard a rumor about a dear longtime friend of mine who is recently married that her husband and father of her new born is hooking up with men and on a gay dating site.

The client talking about it wasn't my client so I asked no questions and didn't pry. This is my place of work so I really cannot put my job on the line and ruin someone else's salon experience or make everyone uncomfortable. I left the room.

My belief is you never know someone's martial status such as open marriage or understandings. The stylist who had the client had no idea they were talking about my friend. She realized it a few weeks later when my friend came to the same salon and walked in giving me a big hug and asked about my family.

I don't think it's my place to spread rumors or even out someone. However this has kept me up at night with worry for her.

*** I haven't seen or talked to this person since. Also I don't know her husband. I also didn't know the client that was there. The stylist would have known if I told and I do also like my job. I never saw the proof. So it is a rumor with nothing but me overhearing someone gossiping. This friend had a place in my life over 9 years ago but until the day she came into my work I hadn't seen her in years so this isn't someone I'm fake with.
