Work husband

By Anonymous - 26/08/2013 15:16 - United States - Brooklyn

Today, a coworker told me she may be in love with me. I admitted similar feelings and we agreed, since we're both happily married, not to spend time together anymore. Two hours later we were both promoted to run the same project, where we'll be "working hand in glove for the next couple of years." FML

Just remember hand in glove doesn't equal ring on finger.

State that there is a conflict of interest to your boss. You really don't want to put yourself in that position, OP, especially once you decide to be loyal to your spouse.

Nice that everyone wants to be so honest, but unless you plan to quit that may be a huge mistake. If I was your wife and you told me you fell in love w/ another woman I'd be hurt, angry, jealous, heart-broken... I would feel totally betrayed and probably leave you if you kept your job working w/ the other woman.

HAPPILY married people dont fall in love with co workers

You need to speak to your boss. Don't cheat on the women of your dreams for the ***** of he night.

Um, no offense but this sounds almost like a typical romantic comedy.

I gotta speak up. The people telling you to pursue this are morons. The reason you find yourself "in love" with this woman is because you've allowed a gap to develop between you and your wife. You need to start making time for each other and close this gap. Marriage counseling maybe. If you don't, you may end up with your coworker, and ten years from now find yourself in love with a new woman, because you haven't learned how to make a marriage work. A successful marriage doesn't just happen, it takes effort. But it's well worth the investment. I know. I've been married 14 years now.

Marriage is not a, "go until it no longer feels right," commitment! There is absolutely nothing good that can possibly come from having an affair. Don't do it.

It's normal to be attracted to your co-workers every once in awhile. This is different from having "feelings" for them. Also, your coworker probably isn't as happy in her marriage as she claims she is if she made an advance. And yes, that was an advance because she wouldn't have said anything if thoughts of the possibility of it going further hadn't crossed her mind. Take it as a compliment if you want, just don't fall victim to it or let it go to your head. If you love your wife and want to be with her, you need to figure out how to make your marriage more exciting. Make time for a marriage enrichment course if you don't know how. And leave this other woman alone. Quit flirting with her and allowing her to flirt with you. Keep it work related and AT WORK. Don't even text or Facebook, no drinks after work, don't each lunch together. If you decide to pursue this, more likely than not, it will blow up in your face, even if you leave your wife, And I don't say this because I saw it in a movie once. I say this because I have seen it happen multiple times in person.

Woah. Can you spell awkward? :/

I think you both should talk to your parteners about it. They deserve to know, or you could just try to work past it, if you agreed to be adults about it in the first place continue doing so.
