Like obviously it's fine, but I've known this guy for months so when talk of his husband came up ngl it sorta caught me off guard.

Also everybody looks different not wearing their masks than I initially imagined.

Be glad that he was comfortable telling you

Nah, he didn't tell me, it just sorta came up. Technically the HR person mentioned it.

Oh okay. Then... idk why is it weird for you?

He's a quiet nerd/loner kinda like me, so when other people's wives or girlfriends come up I'm used to it, but I had never heard anything like that with him so I just assumed he was alone like me, nope not only is he not single but he is gay and married.

It caught me off guard.

I'm terrible at reading people, so it's not really a surprise to me that I don't have a gay-dar.

My coworkers know nothing about me veing gay or having a relationship for many years. I wanna talk about my stuff like everyone else but I avoid that.

There are coworkers I could tell but some Im not sure of due to their religious beliefs.

Wait, other people want to talk about their stuff?

I always dread people ask me personal questions.

I was going to ask how you knew someone for months and didn't know he was at least married but then I saw this post. You should probably look into actually talking to people

I would not want someone speaking to me unless it's important.

Being able to share at least the big picture of your life to co-workers you work closely with is good for your mental health imo. Not having to lie if they ask what you plan to do during the weekend or on your vacation.

There are however people who overshare. Like a co-worker of mine who told us that her oldest son had cheated on his girlfriend while on a cruise and now the girl had moved home to her parents. Like what?

I get what you're saying, TC. Whenever I find out somebody is cisgender, heterosexual, and still has the same name they were born with I just feel... This wave of malaise sweeping over me.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with any of that. I just don't see how anyone can live like that. Not pushing any boundaries. :/ Feels like living in a box and I couldn't possibly relate less if I tried.

My life is too sad. I find it better to not share. Plus they all expect me to do normal people shit. Like "go out". I took a 4 day weekend and they asked me if I had any "big plans" and it's like no, I never do anything.

Somebody had a birthday the day before mine and it came up a few times, but I made sure it never came up when my birthday was.

Other people aren't safe, why would you want them knowing/judging your business? That's an unwinnable game.
