I have a one on one with my boss every week. He’s a decent guy.

But every week he asks how wedding planning is going and there’s so much more to my life than that and I wonder if he would ask if I was one of the guy engineers in the office. My wedding is next summer.

Ugh. Anyone else have any similar experiences?

    Depends on the person. Maybe he is just trying to be nice. For a lot of people the wedding is really important. I’d simply politely change the subject to something else if it bothers you.

      Seconded. Unless he ended the conversation with “nice boobs,” he’s probably trying to connect with something that he thinks is important to you.

        Also agree. We have a guy on our team who is getting married and we ask him every week in our weekly meeting how wedding planning is going. It can just be a way to connect and make conversation.

      It’s also an easy topic to turn to if someone feels like there’s a hard time connecting
