Now why would you go and do a silly thing like that?

I'd make some remark about love but I'm too tired of saying the same thing over again. I must agree you should have been more subtle about it, though, or at least used a weaker term than "love," or at least shouldn't have mentioned the three years. However, I must say FYL. What kind of reaction is that? He should have just fired you if he thought it was creepy, you didn't do shit to him... What an ass. At least you know now.

I tell everyone at work that i love them. but they know how i am and accept that kind of behavior from me :-D...it's been a running joke that i've been trying to get fired for sexual harassment! yay for creepy people!

You poor thing! I hope nothing happens with the charges. At least you finally let it out after three years, now you can move on. =)

Ehhhhhh FYL for the charges, because that's just excessive. But YDI for not getting over it and avoiding the whole mess.

I guess he's married or something? or your relationship outside the office was meant to be separate from what goes on inside the office. Someone overheard? or was otherwise alerted, (or at risk of being alerted). OR, he's afraid of commitment. Personally, I suspect the first, or that you actually weren't sleeping with him, as that's kinda' like 99% of the point here. You know.. "He got mad at me (for killing his dog)." Otherwise I'd say, welcome to the world that single men in the workplace live in every day. You can't indicate any interest in the opposite sex at all if you're male, no matter how respectful or polite the approach is... not without taking the huge harrassment risk, balanced against the hope that whomever it is you wanna' get closer to, finds you attractive, otherwise yer screwed.

Lol. OWNED.

Is he married?

If the OP thinks she is in the weaker position here, she needs to get a better lawyer pronto. A boss who has been banging a subordinate is on very thin ice. If the fact that a confession of love triggers the breakup, the immediate question to pose to the jury is what did he think the reason you put out was? That makes it very hard to contest any evidence you could show that there would have been negative consequences to your job if you had stopped at some earlier point in time. Then just find a psych to say that due to the need to deal with the ongoing humiliation, you coped by developing affection. Then collect the settlement and off you go to an island resort.

_stupid_, it never said they were sleeping together. I'm not calling u stupid btw, didn't wanna write ur full name.
