Default Re: Still not over it

I read this on another site:

work colleagues and boundaries of such relationships-
1) that you don't pursue or accept suggestions of separate time together in inappropriate settings,
2) that you guard against personal discussions that push a friendship to a level you can't handle,
3)and that you commit to never keeping interactions with others secret from your partner.

Sounds like you are struggling with 2). Working in an office environment for many years, I have been part of many such conversations myself but since my husband's EA I would have the same issue you are having. I think due to the circumstances, neither of you are 'wrong' here...you just need to compromise on a level of office chit-chat you are both comfortable with...ie when talking to women you might find attractive, keep relationship issues off the table, etc.
