My boss told me all about his affairs and what not. But most of it is known in the office.

How did you find out? From him, or from gossip?

If you don't want to be a part of it, there are some subtle hints you can give. Change the subject when your boss brings up something personal. Don't offer any advice on what to do.
I don't think it's wrong or weird. It just depends on how much you like to hear about the personal lives of others. I would personally stay away from it because I don't like to be caught in the middle of potentially sticky situations.

Sounds as though your boss needs to seek some counseling and stop airing his dirty laundry all over the office. So while he is in the office he can get some work done. I personally would not want to hear about it. Good luck and God Bless

It may be embarrasing to your boss but it is pretty much normal in a small office. People tend to let loose more. They feel they know the people they work with.

Neither, maybe he/she likes to keep a low profile @ work and bring his personal life to the office. After all, he is the boss.

No, it's not. In smaller office settings, people naturally get to know each other better. I'm in a small office, and we're more like extended family than merely co-workers.

It's neither. It's no different than living in a small town where everyone knows everyone AND they also know their business. Regardless of how they know. It sounds quite normal to me.
Jazzy Mom has a point, you can't help what you already know. You can however keep what you know to yourself! The things we find out in our life may not always be what we wanted to know, but what we dish out can be prevented!

No it's not weird at all........some people are just born to be attention seekers and blab about their life.
Wrong.....maybe a bit cuz you or anyone in your office doesn't really need to know about his or her life.
Probably more annoying than anything else, who gives a **** about their personal life anyway.

Pretty normal for a small office. But don't put your intimate details out there, you may regret it!

It depends on how you found out all of your bosses personal info. Did he/she tell you, or did you find out some other way?
