A woman wondered if she really was in the wrong for truthfully answering a coworker's question about what she does when her husband is gone.
However, this can lead to “dangerous” situations, like the one OP found herself in. Because she was friendly and comfortable with this coworker, it can be. Nothing anyone said in this conversation would seem strange among friends, but it is possible that OP overestimated how much of a friend she is and underestimated her role as a coworker. However, again, John’s reaction does seem excessive, as he had multiple other avenues to deflect or alter her behavior.
This overreacting behavior is likely what led to many commenters wondering if there is anything else going on. The aforementioned “pent-up” statement can be read in a lot of different ways and was enough for HR to shift the blame. That being said, if John had ulterior motives, it seems strange for him to react so aggressively. If anything, it shined a light on something he would have wanted to keep hidden. So perhaps many readers are “reading” too much into the whole situation.
All in all, this story serves as a reminder to always think twice when saying something. It can be hard to determine exactly who was in the wrong, but this story does illustrate multiple cases where all would have been better if different choices had been made. As some commenters note, anything even vaguely sexual is off-limits, but this ignores the realities of human interaction.
