Prayer Request

Please pray for me for my job. I've been at my job for just a little over 3 years. I really like this job. My boss brought his wife into the office a year and 1/2 ago. He hired a new staff member and did not tell this new employee that his wife worked in the office. So obviously he knows having her in there is not a good idea. Since that time, I have had a really hard time with her. We butt heads over a few things, and because she is the boss's wife, he has to take her side on ALL things. We had a meeting the other day, the 3 of us, and she flat out lied to him. She started and explained her side of the story. When it was my turn, she was interrupting me, shaking her head, looking at the boss while she was talking to me.. In short, not listening at all. He told me the next morning, 'she's my wife, I have to take her side'. I told him that I understood that, and said to him, Mike that is why it's not a good idea to bring the wife into the office to work. I have a wonderful relationship with my boss, mutual respect going both ways. She talks down to not just me, but the other staff member as well.

This is the part that bothers me the most about this - she is pregnant and leaving in just a few short months from now anyways. I am confused as to why she would be making such a big stink about things and trying to cause so much trouble for me. I have no husband for financial support, and am doing this all on my own. My son lives with me. She gossips about me to the other staff members - and in short, has decided to make my life miserable. Why. ?
I am very stressed out and thinking about leaving this job because of all of this. So I need her to stop being so hostile towards me. I don't know what to do, should I just ignore her, knowing she is leaving soon, OR just say, to heck with it, leave and find another job. I guess I am looking for guidance and direction. For the right door to close, like her leave early or for the right one to open and for me to find a different job. Thanks.
