Maybe it's just me but if you're both married then I think you did cross the line.

I agree. I think being in a hotel room is crossing the line even if nothing happened.

+3.

I can’t imagine my spouse telling me about this “innocent” encounter without me getting very upset.

His wife would stop by occasionally and she would give me dirty looks. He and I stopped chatting when I left the job.

Um, please tell us more about the situation where you held hands, and specifically was it at work?

It did happen at work. We spent a lot of time talking about things we were going through in our personal lives. It was just one time - I am trying to remember the exact details but it was while I was talking in his office with the door shut about something that was stressing me out, most likely about work. He just grabbed my hand and squeezed it for a few seconds.....that was it.

To me where the line was crossed was when you guys shut the door to his office so that you could have a personal conversation, not necessarily the holding hands part.

After my first year we started flirting with each other and I loved it. If we were alone in my cubical or something she'd place her hand on my leg, or cross her legs over my legs, stuff like that. She was very attractive, similar to Alice Eve...face, body and all.

After one team holiday party we went for a walk outside and ended up going to my car. We made out like crazy and ended up back at my place (alcohol of course helped). We had sex all over my house. I remember it was incredible. I didn't care she was married. At the time I loved her and knew she wasn't happy with her husband so...not going turn away a woman that hot.

After that night we started meeting up for sex 1-2 times a week. During work we acted very professional so no one knew. But, it was pretty obvious to several co-workers we were very close and likely had sex or something. This went on for almost a year. I never asked her to leave her husband and she never brought it up. We stopped seeing each other when a portion of my department got laid off. She was one of them. We still met up off and on but then it just died off. FYI, this was before every single person had a cell phone, etc. So it was easy to miss someone's call at home or work.

Cool story, bro. Are any of us supposed the know who Alice Eve is?

+1 Same. And he was my boss. And someone's husband (no kids and she was a cranky old ball busting beeotch so no need to feel sorry for her).

^Yep, that’s exactly what his next wife will say, too. Grow a conscience.

It’s a miracle that such a great catch ended up with such a cranky old ball buster…..

Almost sounds like BS

WTF are you talking about?

Than k you. My same reaction. Is he/she talking about an imaginary person?

Well not so much imaginary as involuntary. This person who shall remain selfless pretended not to be someone else right up until the moment they became employed (but not yet a spouse.) Anyhoo, we're still figuring out, but it would help a lot of they were able to admit we've talked before and were even work-type spouses. Fingers crossed.

Hello schizophrenia

Excuse me? The problem was stemming from the reality that had we worked together, let alone in the same job, or been spouses (work spouses) we would've known each other at least a little bit but one I discovered I was not employed there this same person also denied they worked there. So there went the marriage or spouse situation. But anyhoo next thong I know I do work there and so do they. As to whether we are spouses is not clear yet. But its only Monday LOL.

I find it hard to believe that two drunk people who are “work spouses” could be alone in a hotel room and not hook up in any small way.

NP. Come on, you don't know any couples where the wife is rude to her DH? Because that's the case in practically every couple I know well. You act like it's an impossibility, in your rush to condemn cheaters.

Forget about crossing the line. I would be irritated if I found out my DH has a work spouse. Is this something people usually tell their real spouse?
