And what I posted was NOT rude. Realistic, yes. Rude, no.

I was making a general process-type comment, in addition to agreeing
your comment was realistic.

Another process-type comment is "a true gentlemen never offends anyone
accidentally."

Regardless of the importance of your husband to you, you should introduce
him to your boss, who has the "senior" position as long as you're working
for him. And that's true regardless of his age or what you think of him.
This would perhaps be reversed if you were introducing a parent (or
especially a grandparent or other elderly person) to your boss.

That would depend on the context. In a social setting, perhaps so. In
a business setting, no. In a "mixed use" setting, such as the office
holiday party, then the principle "the roof constitutes an introduction"
holds.

What is at issue (which you would see if you'd read the rest of the thread)
is not whether an introduction is performed but who is introduced to whom
first.

Boss is younger than either of us, at an off-site job fair for my company,
hubby applying for position but not with my boss. I think I introduced hubby
to boss first.

If you'd read my answer in context you'd see I responded to that.

Well, it seemed to me that you were addressing occasions when no
introduction is required.

Well, it seemed to me that you were addressing occasions when no
introduction is required.

I was addressing three situations, two of which you'd brought up. The
last one was an "out" in case someone couldn't/didn't understand the
protocol (as if it matters anyway, these days), and just wanted to
skedaddle. Your original message:
