I'm a new poster with a weird law firm question-no flames. Please.
This past weekend I'm at a work Christmas party. Drunken partner with a bad toupee (this could be outable, except I'm fairly certain he doesn't realize its a bad toupee-or that all toupees are bad for that matter) corners me and engages me in idiotic small talk with his eyes fixated on my decolletage. But worse than having to deal with his lecherousness and stale alcohol soaked breath was the fact that for some unknown reason he "confided in me" that he was having an affair with a 25 year old paralegal in our office and he thought he loved her but couldn't act on it because his wife would "cream" him in the divorce.
Other than extreme drunkenness I don't know why he graced me with this confession but now my dilemma is what do I do with this info and how do I look at this jerk (or the paralegal) with a straight face again?
And of course I am in the midst of a project with him, although thankfully have avoided him so far today.

First, be glad it is the paralegal instead of you. After all, since his wife will get the assets in the divorce, he's really not very appealing.
Second, what do you want to do with the information? Assume that he has either shared this information with several other victims (you're not that special, sweetie) or is too drunk to remember what he told you. Among your choices: utter silence; quiet, anonymous revenge by outing him to the world; quiet anonymous revenge by outing him to the wife; blackmail; or some form of similar nastiness involving the paralegal.
Rent a copy of the First Wives Club for your amusement. Think of his wife in each roll. See if that gives you pleasure.
