Can my wife’s boss discuss our personal business with my wife’s co-workers?
My wife told her boss about a personal doctor’s appointment which included an appointment for artificial insemination, an obvious personal sujbect. My wife’s boss than told my wife’s co-workers minutes later. hroughout the day my wife’s co-workers were asking my wife if it was true that she was going to get artificially inseminated. They told my wife that their boss told them. Is there anything that can be done about this? I’m her husband and I’m very furious about this.

From what you have written it seems that you need to first have a talk with your wife about bringing up personal matters between you and her at the work place. Had she not discussed the issue that you are writing about with her boss, then the whole talk down stream would never have happened.
If her boss was advised to not discuss the issue she told him or her, then he clearly breached the confidence of an employee. If that is the case, then you and she should consult with an attorney that practices in the area of employment law about the situation that you are writing about.
