This and you crossed the line with the hand holding. I don’t think is an EA yet, but it could be.

Exactly my thoughts.
Plus knowing every detail/ whereabouts everyday.
This is already subtle emotional affair.

The whereabouts thing is strange. Small talk about weekends, logistics talk when someone is away during work hours add needs to cover—yes, for sure. But I work in a job where we need to be ready to respond to clients 24/7 and even then it’s very odd to know where someone is all the time. And we text about work items sometimes late at night but not non work items at those hours

Oh, this, this! When I read your post it was almost an exact description of what happened in my marriage. My DH is now in the throes of a very sticky (haha) affair with this person, because that line was crossed. Devastating for the spouse!
