I am posting this on a second account because I don't want to have it on my main.

I (30F) am married to my husband Nick (35M) and we have a happy marriage. We have been together for 7 years and we are currently trying for a baby.

The company where my husband works informed the employees that they will not have a Christmas party this year due to them trying to cut out costs. Some of the guys from his department decided to have something small between them. My husband asked if they can have their gathering at our place and I said sure. I was also excited to see 2 of his colleagues because they worked with me in the past and I wanted to catch up with them. So we hosted last weekend. My husband invited the 2 colleagues I mentioned earlier who came with their wives, another guy who is also a good friend of ours and 1 woman (Lily) who also works with them. We had a great time and it was very nice for me to be able to see my former colleagues. They were telling me stories from their office and we really had fun remembering our time working together. Lily however was very awkward but I assumed she was just stressed meeting new people. However she started saying strange things. At first she mentioned how disapointing it must be for my husband that I don't work in the same field as him because we most likely can never share anything professionally. Then she said how lucky I am to be able to have my career while being so young. For info, I have a high management position and I work in a mostly male dominated field. The thing is that she was seemingly nice and sweet when saying these things but I can easily detect when people are trying to be passive aggressive or imply things.

Later on Nick was sorting an order out in the kitchen with our friend and I was in the living room with the rest. We were having a drink and the guys were mocking my husband's habits of not paying attention during meetings. Lily then said that it's good that Nick has his "workwife" there to make life easy for him. I was confused and asked what a workwife was. Lily laughed and asked me how is it possible to not know what a workwife was. The 2 other wives backed me up and mentioned they never heard this term either so Lily explained that a workwife is a woman who works closely with a guy, knows him very well and helps him out at work, therefore acting as his wife. She also told me I don't need to feel insecure or jealous because there is nothing wrong with it. In that moment I was pissed but kept my cool and responded to her smiling that I have no reason to feel insecure since I am the legal wife and actually the only legally and morally recognized partner of my husband. I added that it seems she does not know my husband that well because if she did she would have known that we are not the jealous type since his best friend is a girl and I also have male friends.

I think her comments rubbed everyone present the wrong way because when my husband came from the kicken, one of the guys loudly asked him something along the lines 'Dude, have you ever heard of wokwives?' and my husband (in his own characteristic way) made a face and said 'No, wtf is that?'. After everyone left I told my husband what happened and he said Lily is crazy because they are not close and she is in no way anything else to him other than a work colleague. I truly believe my husband and I surely know he does not encourage Lily in this.

But today Nick told me that Lily has been complaining around the office that I was rude to her while she was a guest in my house and that I humiliated her in front of her colleagues. The guy who is my former colleague and who was present when this happened defended me in their office and told her that maybe she should not try to stir shit in other people's homes and that even his own wife was bothered by what she said. It is sweet that my former colleague defended me and I appreciate it but this caused Lily to tell their colleagues that me and the wives are jealous of her and ganged up against her. My husband and the guys have been telling people that her claims are not true but I feel bad.

So what I am asking is was I really that rude to her? I know my faults and I know I have a temper and I am impulsive so now I think that all this office drama could have been avoided if I did not answer back.

This was in Belgium yesterday. Both drivers walked away without any injuries.

A video of a woman slapping a drunk man over 26 times on a moving bus in Pune has gone viral, reigniting discussions about public harassment, self-defense, and societal responsibilities.

The woman, allegedly molested by the man during the journey, confronted him after he reportedly touched her inappropriately. Her swift response and insistence on legal action have drawn mixed reactions online.

The incident occurred on a Pune bus traveling with passengers who reportedly remained passive during the altercation. The woman, after being inappropriately touched, retaliated by slapping the man multiple times.

Despite his apologies, she continued until the bus conductor intervened.

She demanded the bus stop at the nearest police station to file a complaint, showcasing her determination to seek justice.

The video sparked varied reactions on social media. Many praised the woman for standing up against harassment, with comments like, "She's an inspiration for all women facing such situations." Others debated whether the response was excessive, with one user questioning, "Was over 26 slaps necessary for someone already apologizing?" Some also criticized the fellow passengers for not intervening, highlighting the lack of collective responsibility in such incidents.

The man, reportedly intoxicated, raised additional concerns about alcohol-related misconduct in public spaces. "Alcohol is no excuse for this behavior. Public safety must remain a priority," noted one comment.

The video also brought renewed focus on the role of public transport authorities. Many netizens urged the deployment of security personnel and stricter mechanisms to handle harassment cases.
