Today, I was at a "Bring your family to work" event. I noticed my coworker brought his kids but not his wife, so I asked, "No wife today?" Everyone glared at me and he pointedly replied that she's married to someone else now. I had no idea. Now everyone thinks I'm an insensitive prick. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my husband’s work party where employees could bring a plus one. There, I met the colleague he talks so much about. She looked noticeably disappointed and said to my husband, “Wife?! You told me you were single!” We’ve been married for 7 years. FML
Today, my husband came home from work in a bad mood. Why? He found out that a certain female coworker of his isn't single anymore. FML
Today, I found out that the coworker I refused to leave my wife for is now happily married with someone else, while I'm now divorced. FML
Today, I went to a social event with a very attractive male co-worker. Things were going awesome, we were flirting and really hitting it off. Then his 'wife' called. FML
Today, I went to my husband's work to give him lunch. His assistant told me his "wife" was in his office. FML
Today, my friend's father got me mixed up with his new wife when telling stories for his wedding speech. Everyone noticed. The new wife was not pleased. FML
Today, thanks to my asshole coworker and his obsession of posting pictures and tagging me in them on Facebook after I repeatedly told him not to, my wife found out about a party we had with colleagues only. I’m seen in several photos kissing my work bestie, who I hoped I’d keep under wraps until now. FML
Today, at work, I casually mentioned I was meeting some friends for dinner. My co-worker's response was, "You have friends?!" FML
Today, I was having a chat with a customer. He asked if I was married, to which I replied, "No." Before I could say anything else, he said, "Thought so. You look too happy to be married." I was about to mention that I just got engaged. FML
Today, I ran into an old high school friend while out with my husband. When she inquired who I was married to, I pointed to my husband, who was looking at shirts. She laughed and said, "No really?", insinuating that I couldn't get anyone that good looking. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 make it a point to know about the personal lives of my co-workers either.

Following on from #70, we shouldn't comment on each other's spouses on the off-chance that they have separated/divorced since last meeting?

The over sensitivity in today's world is just insane. People need to learn to not be so thin skinned about stuff. Intent should cause a reaction, not words themselves. I only get upset if someone is intending to be mean. If I'm having an over sensitive day and someone hits a sore spot I keep my mouth shut when I know they weren't trying to be malicious.

Totally deserved it. You should've kept your comment to yourself. There are so many awkward reasons for him to be there without his wife - separation, divorce, death. You walked right into this one.

And here we have the reason why everybody is socially awkward these days... Really? So we should all just not talk to each other and always automatically assume the worst? Maybe all his colleagues just need to get their heads out of their asses and get off the high horse. Maybe they should have asked if he knew about the situation in the first place instead of automatically assuming the worst about a person. Not everyone is an asshole. If said colleague didn't share this tidbit of information with him, how is he supposed to know? This way a genuine show of interest gets turned around because they are idiots...
