'It went to an awkward silence until James left for the day': Employee questions coworker's constant remarks about his wife, coworkers can't agree if they went too far

Yikes… this person has an awkward question for their coworker.

It's not every day you ask someone why they're married. The answer should be obvious: they're married because they love each other and want to build a life together. But this worker, sharing their story from a throwaway account, was baffled why their coworker James had ever married his wife.

James seems like he's one of those husbands who "pretends" to hate his wife. He calls her the old ball and chain, and acts like she just nags him and irritates him. No matter if she's raising his kids or working her own job, this dude can't properly appreciate her. I wonder if he knows that if you aren't happy in your relationship, you can leave. There are literally billions of other people who you could date that would make you happier. I wonder if his wife knows that she could also leave and find herself a dude who would treat her like a queen. 

This person hates the derogatory language James uses while talking about women, which added to their need to call him out. U/workahthrowaway got a lot of support from commenters who assured them they were doing the right thing by questioning James' constant belittling tendencies.
