Discrimination??

I was offered a management position within a marketing company.  I accepted, and was sent an acceptance e-mail.  Within a week the situation "changed."  The position came open to anyone interested.  Confused, I submitted my resume, and was formally interviewed along with several other people that day.  Later that evening the General Manager (the lady who interviewed me) called and asked to speak to my wife.  Mind you, we were, by no means, on a personal level; and me in hopes of getting the job let her talk to my wife.  She proceeded to ask her personal questions about our marriage, stating that I would be spending a lot of time together training at her house.  She said that we would be required to travel 4 times a year, and felt it fitting to explain that we would have separate rooms.  Ultimately I did not get the job.  She stated to the Team Manager that was leaving the program, she didn't want to hire me because: I only had one car, I am a stay at home dad with young kids, and that she was unsure of my relationship with my wife.  Now there is no doubt that this woman has a mound of insecurities, but isn't this some form of discrimination.  There is a bit more detail to the story, but this is the gist of it.  I informed the company about this lady's hiring process stated that I wanted an apology to me and my wife.  They have not seemed to hasty in getting results.  Thanks for listening...write back if anyone thinks this is fishy.
