She went on to tell me about a guy she use to work with who held a very high position in the company.
She said he always made snide/horrid comments when she walked past his office like "why don't you come in here and sit on my lap" Or "you look gorgeous today love, you have amazing legs".

She said at first she brushed it off but she eventually became tired of it because it was happening daily.She even said she had to walk a different way in a bid to avoid him. Apparently, he was well known for being like that but nobody said anything because of his rank in the company.
She went on to tell me how depressed this eventually made her and how she had to quit a well paid job leaving her in financial difficulty for a number of months......



.....Accyexplorer wonders how much it's going to cost to get back in the good books
So now you have an insight into the insidious harm that these events can cause.
The harm is long lasting and affect both mental and physical well being.
As for your last question.......well, only you know your wife(or thought you did).
