New assistant leads to accusations of infidelity

A man recently hired a new administrative assistant and has been grateful for her help with his workload. However, when his lab posted a picture on Instagram introducing her to the team, his wife’s friends accused him of considering cheating on her. They suggested that the man should fire the assistant to prove his loyalty, which he found ridiculous and illegal. As a result, his wife’s friends are convinced he’s a predatory scumbag, and his wife is angry that he’s not doing enough to stop people from thinking he’s throwing her away. The man believes that the real problem is his wife’s friends, whom he describes as crazy divorcees. He is seeking a third-party perspective on the situation but is confident that he has done nothing inappropriate. In fact, he now gets to spend more time with his wife, thanks to his assistant’s help. Read on to see what advice Reddit users have for him.
