Etiquette School is in session! > "Have you tried the bean dip?"
How long can someone bean dip?
BeagleMommy:
Takeheart, I agree with PP who said to keep her texts and document as much as possible. Something tells me she will not go quietly when she's finally asked to leave her employment.
If someone had slapped my DH I think I would have had the same reaction as you. Followed by a call to the police.
Bibliophile:
Forward the text to his/her boss. That is uncalled for and highly inappropriate.
takeheart:
DH talked to her today at work. He said, "I talked to her and all is well." I asked what was said. He replied, "She simply said sorry as a whole and that she definitely shouldn't have sent that text. After she apologized, I told her you overreacted also, but both of you were in the wrong for the extent of your actions. She agreed." I wonder if she feels remorse only for the text message? Also, if I had not done what I did, would she feel remorse at all? I suppose I'll give her the benefit of the doubt to improve if I see her next time. I'll try to avoid attending events where she is present, but there are some we can't.
I still agree that in a situation where guests are feuding, the host should step in and attempt to resolve the situation because there was only so much bean dipping I could take!

Sadly, her boss' boss was present. He witnessed her behavior and he spoke to DH afterward. He is aware of everything. From what I heard, he is suppose to talk to her this week. I hope he does. If he doesn't speak to her about it, I will be very disappointed in the company.

I think if I were in OP's situation, I would have cut off her access to the wine once her behavior became obnoxious. So what if "that's just what she does?" That sort of behavior is unacceptable in any situation and I would never tolerate it in my home.
After the spilling on the table and her subsequent insults, I would have told (not asked) her to leave my home and followed up by having her removed by the authorities if she refused to leave.

It wasn't our home. We were both guests at a mutual friend's home for a bonfire. The host went to high school with V and the the hostess works with V and DH at the same company. Yes, if it was my home, she would have been told that she has had enough wine and I would have asked her escort to take her home.
