3. If he is the boss, then I assume there is no HR?

If this is the case, you can file a complaint with the BBB. What he did is inexcusable! I like the other poster's suggestion, getting him to admit it...BUT...you do have to know your state's laws in the matter of recording someone without his/her knowledge. To do so, is illegal in some states, in others, it isn't illegal, but it would never hold up in legal proceedings. Also, given what you have said about your ex, she would not be the best to get that 'confession' as it might really upset her again, and she doesn't need that aggravation. I am really happy that you are taking her feelings into consideration. I can understand where you are coming from because if someone had said that to my mother or my partner (even though he is male), I would be on the warpath!
