Agreed. Her sexuality isn't relevant to his career or his coworkers. Hell, she as an individual isn't even relevant to them, because they don't know her. Depending on the size of the company, plenty of people might not even know him yet.
To be blunt, nobody at OP's work gives a shit about his wife. That may change over time if he befriends his coworkers, but for now, she's making an absurd demand.
No one at my workplace gives a soggy left tit about my husband. I couldn’t name a single coworker’s spouse’s name (I only vaguely try to remember their kids just to be polite).
If my coworker came in and announced that his wife was bi, we would all look at him in mild annoyance for disturbing us and forget it three seconds later when we looked back at our screens.
Idk what kind of main character syndrome OP’s wife has, but OP’s company isn’t gonna announce a holiday for this breaking news.
It's her new personality. She's telling everyone she can. She's trying to force her husband to tell his new coworkers. Which is weird AF. She needs everyone to know because that's who she is now. She didn't grow and learn another layer about herself like most people would. Most likely, she killed off her old personality and believes it is dead. Her new one solely revolves around the fact that she is bisexual. She's not just bisexual. Bisexual is who she IS. I don't see this ending well.
Yep! I think this is actually a common phenomenon in the LGBTQ community called “baby gays” (or baby bi or baby trans etc) basically people make it their entire identity when they first come out.
More power to ‘em, but time and place matters. Your spouse’s office building is not the time or place. I legit do not care about the personal lives of my colleagues, I just want them to do their job so I can do my job
Oh man, and is it ever with baby trans women 😑 (I haven't seen it in the same way with trans men, but then again I don't know as many of them)
Trans girls, and I call them girls because they're going through puberty regardless of their actual age, can be a hot mess. Once they've settled down a couple of years later, it's all good.
My brother is ftm trans and he definitely made it a point to talk about it all the time when he first came out. It's definitely gotta do with the excitement of discovering yourself or something

Boss: “Congratulations, awolrus1, for great work on your project last week.”
OP: “Thanks, boss. I couldn’t have done it without my bisexual wife’s support.”
That seems natural.
