Accidentally found out about a relationship

[Anonymous]

OP, it is really odd that you find this newsworthy and in need of extensive discussion. Unmarried adults often meet, and date, and hook up. What is your own relationship situation? If you share that with the Board, it might help us to help you.

I'm just surprised that she has said nothing about it to me at all. Like not even a He's cute , wonder if he's seeing anyone? Type of thing. I have so many questions, like when and how did this start

why do you think you're entitled to that type of information? Who TF do you think you are?

It’s not owed to you, ever. Not dating, pregnancy, health, finances, job hunting, etc. When they want you to know, they will tell you.

Even more important, if they do share something with you, you don’t reshare it ever. There are a few times where I will ask the person “is this known information” (like a pregnancy that will eventually show), but generally, don’t ask, don’t tell. If you are a curious person, it actually helps you in the long run, because then people start to tell you all kinds of things, because you don’t talk.

This.period. Never share something that is about another person...it will serve you well in life.

If they aren't married to other people, this is no big deal OP. Drop it.

OP is a terrible person. She has no boundary or respect of it. She's going to ruin that relationship and the kids' happiness.

No wonder the lady keeps her distance.

It's very rude of you to gossip about these people on a public message board and describe their lives in such detail. Someone might recognize them.

Please stop doing this, OK?

Yesterday we had a picnic/ BBQ. When my male coworker first arrived with his kids they immediately ran over to the female coworker and gave her hugs, his son even sat in her lap for a little bit before they went to go play with the other kids. Now, this coworker is pretty good with kids, and every now and then some of us with kids will bring them into the office and they all tend to flock to her, my own kids are this way, and I'm sure I've seen this guy's kids talking to her before too. What caught my attention was the hugging and the lap-sitting.

A little while later we needed some extra chairs and she had volunteered to bring them and said they were still in her car, he offered to go help get them. Well, about 10 minutes later there still aren't any chairs so I go to track them down. I find them, and they were fooling around. I left quickly, but they must have realized they had been caught because they soon followed me. I got my chairs and the day proceeded as normal. They even kept their distance from each other.

O texted her later to thank her for her help and mentioned it was a nice day, good to see everyone, and X and his kids really seemed to enjoy themselves. To which all she said was yeah it was a great day.

I'm wtf. Now I'm not very close with either of them, but she and I have texted each other before hung out outside of work and talked a bit about various relationship-type things. I didn't even know she was interested in him, like at all. For the record I think they're very cute together and would make a very cute couple. But that really came out of nowhere, and she's still being coy about it.

OMG! Two single adults are in a relationship!! STOP THE PRESSES!!

You’re blabbing about it on the internet!!!
