[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this sounds immature and I'm surprised I'm in this position. I work closely with a woman and we have become very close friends. I'm single. She is married but her marriage sounds to be too deteriorated to save, and she has been actively considering divorce; she might even be in an open marriage by now (no kids). For some time I have developed feelings and an emotional attachment. Since she is still married, since it's in the workplace, and since the feelings are likely not reciprocated, I just supressed them and simply enjoyed the friendship. In recent month, she and a newer colleague in our team (single) have become very close and it is obvious there is strong mutual attraction between them. It's possible they are romantic. To my surprise, I am affected by this. I interact with her constantly every day due to our roles in the company, and i see their interactions, so it's difficult to put distance. Changing jobs is not in the cards. Any advice to get over this attraction / attachment would be appreciated. [/quote]

It is immature, and entitled, and way the hell out of line to be this invested in what you perceive of/project onto your co-workers relationships.

Do what you should've done in the first place: MYOB and just do your damned job. Correct the one person you're responsible for controlling. You.[/quote]
