i think all of our workplace will have this particular "gossip
monger" who likes to add salt and pepper to situations and then
spread untrue rumors around the office... but now i would like to
ask for my wife's case, can i sue?
for your info; my wife works at a polyclinic and she's a
nurse.
apparently, this gossip monger has told people in the polyclinic
that my wife is having an affair with a fellow colleague, a doctor
to be exact which is entirely not true. before you ask why is it
not possible; facts:
1) i send my wife to work everyday
2) i have lunch with her everyday
3) i pick her up from work everyday
4) i know the doctor before i even know my wife
5) everyone in the polyclinic knows me and if something really
did happen, i am the first to know.
6) this gossip monger is well known to create trouble, this is
not the first time and my wife is not the first victim. frankly,
99% of staff who works there long enough knows her "pattern"
7) the doctor is well known to be a workaholic, he starts early
and he ends late... he is still in office even when my wife is home
after work.
8) he is married and he has a girl whom we all know he loves
dearly
9) he is my "personal" doctor. afterall he is the one who
diagnosed me to have inherited diabetes. we are like friends for a
long time before i even met my wife.
of course there is still possibility for the "affair" to happen
but if my wife has told everyone in the family about the accusation
and my parents and my in-laws have vowed to give support in
confronting the gossip monger in the even the gossip goes out of
hand, assured me that she is innocent. who will tell their own
parents of their guilt if they are really guilty?
now the real joke is she claimed that she caught them standing
quite close in front of a computer typing and discussing work and
now; how she relate that to adultery is quite a mystery to me.
however, she is telling everyone at work in her private time that
my wife is having an affair with the doctor. fortunately, no one at
work place believes her. i show my face there everyday but i feel
that she could not be let off so easily. she is indirectly making
me like a cuckold... sending my wife to her accused lover
everday?
somehow this is stressing my wife out and i'm about to find a
"hitman" to settle her but i think legal actions should be sought
out first before using illegal means...
so now i would like to ask; should i sue?
No, you cannot.
You have to understand that some people are free, have nothing
to do. So they start gossiping. But pity them out of boredom, they
create topics of interest to entertain themselves. Just dont bother
about these people. I am sure you are not that free. As long as you
believe in yourself and your wife why bother. let them be, they
will get bored soon and they will change topic soon.
