Dear Abby: Nosy co-worker makes stink over office perfume policy

Nosy co-worker makes stink over office perfume policy

The other day, a lady in my office came in and announced loudly that there was a “terrible perfume smell” in the corridor.

After what I thought was intrusive sniffing, she decided it was coming from me.

[...] if it’s for more than that, then I agree the policy is heavy-handed and needs to be clarified so that everyone can clearly understand it.

The items consist of a wedding ring, watch, etc.

If I bring a piece of jewelry out that I would like him to wear, he runs and gets a piece that his ex gave him, places them side by side and compares them! I’m so mad I have stopped speaking to him, which makes him very upset and sometimes he cries.

Giving someone the silent treatment is not an effective way to communicate, nor is it a healthy way to solve problems.

The next time your husband says that “one day that jewelry will be worth something,” ask him if he means after he dies or you do — and suggest that now may be the time for him to sell it.

Along with the millions of Americans who are observing this Memorial Day, I would like to add my prayer of thanks for those men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.
