Bingo.I see that the situation is handled, but for the record, you always report it to HR and never handle it yourself.
Sorry he is going through a rough time, but he stepped over a line and needs correction.
I also would suggest that your wife not be in the office the day of termination and the next business day.
Yup, he could have run to HR first, said her husband was harassing him, etc.She did the right thing going to HR, it’s always best to have a documented paper trail. If you had handled it for her, no way of knowing what the fallout at work could have been for her.
Getting a divorce and getting fired... Hope he is not a Democrat or he will be running people over by the weekend...
if he's a democrat he'll be dancing around with a daisy in his ear, smoking weed and shitting in the streets by Friday
GREAT wisdom and advice!! OP, read what he said carefully because he is making a ton of sense. I highlighted the points that are IMO spot on!Me personally, I completely understand your point as a man. If this happened outside the office (i.e. club, restaurant, someone's BBQ, etc.), I would say step in and straighten him out. However, since this happened at work and it seems to be a first time incident I say let your wife handle it. She doesn't have to report him if she doesn't want to, but she can give him a verbal warning and let him know that if it happens again she "will" report him and provide the documentation of this incident as well. Or since he sent a message she could respond in a message and then she will have documentation that she asked him to stop.
Again, I understand your point. I would be pissed too. However, I also do not agree with spouses getting involved in the work place. Especially since you say he will get fired on the spot if your wife officially reports him. That means the work place environment will protect her and take care of her. So, let her handle it in my opinion.
My wife came home complaining about someone at work and my first response was "Did you put anti seize on their doorknob and bluing on their phone?" Turns out those aren't options at the school.There is such a difference between people whom work in an office setting, and people whom work doing manual labor etc.

I was a millwright before my office job. I would absolutely believe it. hahaYou wouldn't believe the things we say about each other's wives and gfs.
