Gossip at work  

Posted by: Licel

One of my co-workers, who just newly transferred at that time from other Depot store, approached me and asked about my husband's age and my age. I was flabbergasted by her being blunt. We never talked or had any conversation at all prior to that incident, since she just moved in. So her question didn't make sense to me at that time. That's when I realized that people at work are actually gossiping about me marrying a mature guy, otherwise she wouldn't asked that kind of question. She should asked first where I came from. Asking somebody's age especially if you just met is rude what more to ask my hubby's age. Obviously, that woman has no proper etiquette. It was kinda annoying but I tried to calmed down myself for I didn't want to stoop to her level. She is still young and still needs to learn a lot as far as proper etiquette is concern.

My husband is the type of person who thinks a lot and a worrier by nature. He takes things seriously. He also got married at the age of 19. So he learned what family responsibility means at such a young age. That's why he looks matured than his age but he's still in his mid 40's.

I don't understand why some people are making age a big deal. So what if my husband is older than me? What is wrong about it? It's definitely my choice! Nobody has the right to question my choices nor judge how I live my life. And besides, I'm not that young anymore either. I'll be 32 early next year. And we didn't do anything immoral. Does age really matters when it comes to love? For us, it's not. Age is just a number. As long as we love each other and we're happy, that's all that matters. Who gives a damn what others think?! We don't form our marital happiness based on other people's acceptance or judgment. Whether the marriage is successful or not, age has nothing to do with that. It's the couple's lifetime commitment. To those people whose business is to mind each other's business and putting someone down secretly, get a life and may God bless you.
