Things never to say to your co-workers:
1) How's your wife/husband?
2) Are you pregnant?
3) The light bulb in your bedroom closet is out.
Um, actually forget about #3.

I don't get how they can actually blame him. You can usually tell the difference between a genuine, curious question and a question that's used to piss someone off purposely.

But unfortunately, it doesn't seem that OP's co-workers can tell the difference.

Idk. If everyone there knew, it makes it kinda surprising that OP didn't. I'm not saying Op deserved it at all, but at the same time I believe that if that many people knew it, then it shouldn't have been hard for OP to have found out sooner.

Not necessarily. It's possible OP could have recently started this job which would be another reason why they would have not known. Also, it could have been that the work gossip never reached OP even if they were there for a long time. Just because everyone else knows doesn't give them the right to assume OP would know as well. Not everyone pays attention or cares about work gossip / drama.

True 28 but at the same time some coworkers leave people out of the loop. Trust me I know. People can be assholes sometimes!

The good news is, that just like everything else in the world, no one will care in a few weeks.

Given the frequency of divorces and single parents, OP really should have considered the possibility before opening his mouth

A lot of families are separated, it's extremely common and sad. But well known enough to not ask that kind of question.

@58, I'm guessing if OP was new to the company if he wasn't aware of something that was common knowledge. I agree that it really isn't any of OP's business, but he probably was just trying to start up a conversation or something. It was really an honest mistake. And it really is sad that divorce is so common.

I think 58 is referring to the fact that divorce rates are high enough that a family missing a mom or dad shouldn't warrant a question. Unless OP's coworker mentioned the wife prior, there's no reason to assume a current marriage. That's why I put a YDI

Hey dude it's not your fault. For all you know she could have been at home dealing with a life threatening disease that she would probably lose against.

Well it was kinda true. Not to say OP deserved it, but they should be more cautious in the future.

People are too sensitive sometimes. Don't sweat it OP, they'll get over it.

Your brilliant comeback should have been, "Ha, ha, ha, at least she's not dead! Right?"
That would have made everyone laugh and laugh -- especially the kids! Try it!

Yea, sooo not your fault, who cares what they think. You didn't know and it's quite stupid of them to think just because they knew, you would. Don't worry OP they'll get over it and if you care enough of what they think, than your explanation should be enough.

Don't be too harsh on yourself; you didn't know. Not your fault you weren't told beforehand.

Depending on how your coworkers view you and the last time you went to their house… well, 3 could be the most important one. =P
