I haven’t answered, and he keeps asking.
I am a recently divorced woman. I started a new job about six months ago. I am in middle management and enjoy the work very much.Normally I’m pretty open about my life, but this query puts me off. I’ve dodged the question, but I’m wondering how you think I should handle it.Don’t dodge. This is a natural instinct, but dodging just pushes this down the road.
If he brings up your marital status again, you could respond with the classic: “Why do you keep asking me this?”Regardless of how he responds, you should state: “That’s personal, and I don’t want to discuss it. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t bring this up again.”He needs to back all the way off. If he persists after you ask him to stop, he cannot claim that these are stray remarks, and your co-worker is opening himself up to violating company policy and a possible harassment claim.
No matter what I do, though, I never seem to receive the same level of attention and respect as my cousins do. My grandparents might talk about my successes for a few minutes, but then move on and talk about my cousins for the rest of the time. I am happy for my cousins and want them to be successful, but it hurts me knowing it feels like my accomplishments and successes are going underappreciated.How do I tell my grandparents this without causing heated arguments?
