Talking to Foreign Women About Private Matters

Question
What is the ruling on a married man who talks to women at work and shares details of his life that are not related to work, under the pretext that due to his frequent interactions with women, he no longer distinguishes between men and women, and thus does not consider this in his speech?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to speak with foreign women except as much as necessary, and what is beneficial, and such flimsy excuses should not be heeded. And God knows best.
