I'm curious if you read the book. i found the approach to be very DB like. In fact the part about GAL was better than the stuff in any DB book. It also seem kinda suspicious to me.
LOL
anywho I think I have a few thoughts.
Clearly, you can't control Boss and his inappropriate behavior. You seem to be spending a lot of emotion energy on this thing that you have no control over in any way. I know it can be hard to let it go.
That is something that you just have to deal with. I mean certainly your W could be more proactive, but I think 2 forces are at play. People like attention and He is her Boss. I think people sometimes find it hard to stand up to their bosses even when the boss is crossing potentially illegal lines.
I too get the feeling of competition with my W's work at times. I mean here we are on vacation and she spent a lot of yesterday texting co-workers. Not that she was rude about it, but It did bug me, but I did not let it show at all. I don't get it because I have never been like that about work and this is the first time my W has been like that about a job. I talked to my MIL and it seems that her Father is a lot like this and it too drives my MIL crazy at times. I've talked to him about it as well and he's realizes that he missed a lot of things because is work focus. But I think this is a lesson that she has to get for herself.
Hope your holidays are grand.
