But things took a turn when the Reddit user made a comment about the coworker being single in her 40s, leading to accusations of mocking. Was the Reddit user in the wrong? Check out the post and decide for yourself.

Single-shamed for my husband taking my last name. Clapped back 👊🏻
A coworker of my husband's, Brenda, got offended that my husband took my last name and made a bad joke about me not being a good wife. When I pointed out that she has no frame of reference since she's single in her 40s, she is now spreading rumors that I mocked her for being single. This whole ordeal has been frustrating and I want to know if I'm the a**hole for calling Brenda out. Read on for the full story and let me know your thoughts in the comments.
