[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: I am married, but not unhappy. It’s just that I feel myself getting pulled strongly towards my coworker. I never thought of her in that way until her crush on me was obvious. Work has been a unique challenge this year, and we’re a united front against a lot of challenges. [b]When things get hard, she comes down the hall to my office and we get each other through the day. [/b][/quote]

What are you two, 16 years old? You don't need each other's "emotional support" to get through the day. You are adults. Tell her to grow up and see a therapist if she has that much trouble coping with life.

Draw some boundaries, keep things professional, quit letting her come to your office. The challenges you face at work are not special or unique. Everybody faces work challenges, everybody understands what you are going through. Quit re-writing things to sound like some B.S. romance novel about your Great Love vs. the big, bad workplace and world. Fantasy never lives up to reality, and a relationship with her won't be all magical sparkles and glitter. It'll be exactly like every other marriage in the world, and you'll both end up seeking your thrills elsewhere.

If you care about your marriage, break things off entirely with this woman. No socializing at work. No emotional support B.S. No alone time. No happy hours. [/quote]
