AITA for lying to my wife

My wife F(28) works in finance and recently we went to her company event where I got to meet her colleagues for the first time.

During the event she introduced me to some of her male colleagues. And somehow it ended up with me and 3 guys having small talk, while she left to talk to others.

Eventually they asked me what I do for work.

I work as a dentist, but I really dislike talking about work outside of work. So I told them it was nothing interesting. And the convo was moving forward.

One guy was really not letting it slide!

But one of the guys kept on asking and was so curious for god knows why, and jokingly said “are u embarrassed cos you work at McDonald’s” he was starting to annoy me, so I said in a dead serious tone that I do in fact work at McDonald’s and that’s why I didn’t want to talk about it and tried to make it as awkward as possible.

I thought it was hilarious, seeing his “oh sorry bro” face while the other 2 tried not to laugh

UH OH!

BUT like a week later, I kinda forgot about it, and my wife came home and started yelling at me about why I lied to her colleagues.

Apparently rumours spread fast in her workplace and eventually the whole office was judging my wife behind her back until she eventually found out.

She hated what he did!

I honestly do get why she was mad, and it was a back and forth for awhile until eventually she said what if she came into the clinic I work at and told everyone a lie about her job.

I thought about it and you know I kinda see her point. But at the same time I feel like she’s just easily embarrassed and was just angry in the moment for getting judged by the office.

However she thinks I was childish and immature and did not need to do that.

Oops! This guy really didn’t expect it to blow up like that!
