Can anyone answer my work-related question?

A coworker wanted me to email him, but I politely declined because he's married and I told him that I didn't want his wife to accidentally see it. Now my coworker's ignoring me and no longer talking to me but we still have to work together in a factory. How do I deal with his hostile, distant, and negative attitude from now on?

    It would have been fine to email him about something work-related. You just have to keep the e-mail business-like. If his wife sees something wrong with a business e-mail from a female co-worker then that's their problem.

    If he was seeking something romantic and sexual with you, then you were quite right and quite within your rights to refuse. Also his actions would constitute sexual harassment. And he definitely shouldn't discriminate against you for refusing his advances.

    Why would you not want his wife to see an email you would have sent to him, if you would have been emailing something about work?

    Why did you decline, when all you had to do was not email him?

    What exactly did the guy want you to email him about in the first place???

    Give him a hummer in the locker room.

    He'll be happy, then.
