It's pretty normal for people in a workplace to exchange numbers and text and no, that doesn't violate any laws if people choose voluntarily to communicate via text. My wife sees my texts on my personal phone sometimes. No need to go onto why as it doesn't matter. The big difference is that my wife is not so insecure to jump to conclusions if I get a weird text. In fact, my wife would probably joke about it. So that's the real issue... The guy has a cripplingly insecure wife. Also, I'm sorry if you've never had a good relationship with your boss. It's almost always the boss' fault, but it should be normal to be able to talk to your boss easily like a good acquaintance.
I don't know where you're getting that his wife is insecure. All he did was text in all caps. His wife could have just asked what was going on. Doesn't mean she was breaking down crying or on a rampage.
What on earth are you talking about? I never said there was anything wrong with texting your boss, and I didn't say anything about this being illegal, I'm saying it's unprofessional for your boss to give his wife open access to the work related texts his employees send to him unless she's also involved in the business. They could contain personal information that he shouldn't be sharing with anyone, not even his wife. It has nothing to do with her being insecure or not.
