[quote=Anonymous]So, I recently started a new job.  Previously I worked at home and had basically no coworkers, just a boss who I report to remotely.  Now I am in an office with a few coworkers, including one who is my direct supervisor and who shares an office with me.  She has been incredibly welcoming and really excited to have someone else on this project, amd she has been managing alone even though it has grown beyond what one person could reasonably do.  Basically hiring me means she has her life back.  She has been really kind and is a great mentor for me professionally.  I have learned a lot from her.  She has also gone out of her way to be friendly, not just coworker friendly.  And she has asked about personal life, etc.  We are fairly different (I am late 20's, single, no kids, she is 40's, married, 2 kids), but share a sense of humor and I was happy to be friends outside of work too.  This weekend I attended a barbeque at a house she and her family rented for the weekend to celebrate her kid's birthday.  I met her husband for the first time and immediately felt a really strong attraction to him.  I spent the evening chatting with my friend, playing freaking scrabble and the whole time all I could think of was how hot her husband is and what it would be like to have sex with him.  I have NEVER had this kind of response to any guy, ever, let alone a married man!  I would be happy to just hang with my friend and never see her husband, so that I don't have to worry that I will accidently say/do something to embarass myself, but she is already talking about other get-togethers with her family.  How do I distance myself without hurting her?  She has been so kind and i just don't know how to putthe kibosh on this friendship without her feeling rejected.[/quote]
