My wife used to be a cool and relaxed person, you know, she can handle things. But in her "new" job, which she's been in for about 18 months or so, there's a lot of drama at an almost all-female workplace. I know how this sometimes develops and it's nasty, un-enjoyable and a good reason to move along, really (my profession is usually associated with an absolute majority of female workers, too, and many workplaces benefit from a good gender balance to avoid being trapped in or another unproductive behaviour).

The thing is, she now comes home and talks about person A doing X to person B while C is doing Y to A and D is going as low as doing Z to B.

I find this so terrifyingly boring, I often have to stop her and tell her that I have zero mental bandwith for that. Can't even remember the names and whatever I can reply will usually just confirm whatever my wife has already figured out. Sorry, but everyday life is pretty cramped with adulting things, parenting tasks and I'd love to squeeze in enjoyable bits there, too. Office banter about people I don't know being asshats towards each other is just not something I want to hear.

Kind of understandingly, my wife would rather share her experience with me. But, then again, I ask her if she doesn't have something else and less boring to share with me instead. She's disappointed in me now.

AITA for asking her to leave the office drama at the office?
