Boss blurs work and personal life; fiancé’s jabs create tension
An employee adores her boss but has pulled back socially because the boss’s engaged partner is frequently on his phone and makes cutting comments at her husband.
DEAR ABBY: My boss doesn’t set boundaries between work and our personal lives. I adore her, but the job is very stressful and comes first.
She recently became engaged, and I don’t know how to accept her husband-to-be. When we’re all together, he’s constantly on his cellphone or makes mean-spirited jabs at my husband over sports. We can’t all cheer for the same team, and banter is fun, but this feels personal.
