How to handle this situation? Saw boss's wife in embarrassing circumstances. Pretend nothing happened? ?

  • I was at a gathering at the boss's house last night. Most of the couples (6) were mid-20s. The boss is about 33. Drinks flowed freely & we were sitting around the pool deck. Boss's wife who is pretty tipsy wants to swim. No one has swimsuits, so she suggests we all can go in wearing our undies. Even as wasted as we are everybody is reluctant. She says she'll show the way, & strips to her bra & panties & jumps in! Nobody follows, so after a while she gets out. Her wet undies are absolutely see-through!! When she finally realizes it, she covers up (too late). The boss is laughing about her situation. She ducks behind the bar & gets redressed & comes back out holding a drink in one hand & her wet undies in another. We and the boss "compliment" her on "having no panty lines" & make other crude jokes about her going commando & her recent "nudity". She throws her wet towel & the wet undies at the boss. He asks for an apology. When she says no way he pulls her over his lap & whacks her 2 or 3 times. Still no apology. He has the men file past her upraised fanny & give it a swat or two. When he threatens even more drastic action, she gives in. The rest of the party was pretty uneventful.
    We are not sure whether any of this should ever be mentioned in the boss's presence. We should thank him for his hospitality, but that might remind him we saw his wife "nude" & spanked her besides! We haven't seen him yet. What is a good way to handle what may be a ticklish situation? Hope he is taking it in stride, or never mention the party?


  • Just pretend that the whole thing never happened and keep going on. Yeah it's embarrassing that you saw all that, but keep it hush hush.


  • You should probably keep it to yourself...he may not appreciate thinking about it again. Especially since he was drinking. It's definitely the safer choice to not mention it.


  • don't mention it. not worth finding out if its going to upset him or not../


  • never mention the party
    leave that for the boss to bring up and then even tip-toe around the subject
    if people were that drunk, most may not even remember what transpired


  • Dont mention the party


  • It's not your place to bring it up. Forget it.


  • Jay just keep it to yourself, sounds like you all had a great time.


  • I think it would definitely be unwise to mention this to your boss since many men respond unpredictably when some other guy describes a kinky fantasy involving their wife.


  • Well it is a very unpleasant situation. I will suggest to not say anything, and let him (the boss) be the first in mentioning it. If he is a gentleman he will apologize first thing when he come the the office, if not just not say nothing. Also avoid talking about what happened with the other co workers. You don't know what's going in his head. If he is ashamed he will not mention nothing at all or he will not mention nothing at all because he don't care and don't feel bad about nothing.
    Even he asked for an apology, in this case if he really cared for his guests he should be the one to said a short phrase like: I apologize for her behaviour or something like that.
    I don't know what type of man/husband he is. I think that both behaviours (he and the one of his wife) where not good. First the wife with an absolutely lack of respect for herself, and then the boss treating her the way he did in front of guests.


  • Say nothing and hope that it doesn't happen again.It sounds like the boss and wife don't mind sharing their love life with anyone else


  • Don't ever mention it. And with behavior like that, he may not be with your company much longer anyway.


  • What kind of people are they? You shouldn't worry about anything except letting your wife around them alone....morons that will never re-gain any respect


  • Sounds like someone's writing themselves a little fantasy. If your story is true I probably wouldn't mention it though.

    My boss's wife once ordered sex toys off the internet and had them sent to the office, not knowing that he had me open all his mail.


  • I always say, "when in doubt, do nothing at all." It's not your obligation to neutralize the situation. Just go about your day and eventually that moment will be a distant memory. It's already the past. Holding on to it only keeps it awkward.


  • Pretend like it never happened. If he mentions anything, act like it was no big deal. Also be careful about having a laugh with your co-workers about this when you might accidentally get overheard by someone.


  • Don't go out of your way to bring it up. This may be a non-issue for him, as they may party this way often. In that case he will bring it up his self and be willing to joke around about it.
    He may be a bit embarrassed that things got out of hand and not want to dwell on it.
    Take your cue from him.
