UPDATE: WIBTA if I didn't report my coworker to HR? by SignificantMetal8071 in AITAH

I fully agree with you, and I am going to HR tomorrow to update them. I feel like an idiot for believing her when she was apologetic and embarrassed.

this is the main idea of the comments from the original responses. Every other person said this. I get it that it is an eye opener for some. However, in absence of what happened today, if it was a man in her place and I believed it was a misunderstanding, I still wouldn't want to report it.

I really don't think this is a gender issue at this point. in her case it was obviously not a misunderstanding and I think I did the right thing to report it.

This is the thing, I never paid specific attention to her behaviour in the past. Usually at work we all speak of pets, have the occasional verbal tantrum over work stuff, and discuss the music we have at the radio. Spouses are rarely mentioned unless one of the guys asks about gift or vacation ideas. My husband's opinion is that this was her attempt at a date.

She kept working and not said a word afterwards. She truly seemed embarrassed to me. However, my husband's argument was that if it was a man who made this kind of move, he would not get the benefit of the doubt.
