[quote=Anonymous]Everyone here has screamed don’t do it for the sake of your marriage.

You also don’t want to do it for the sake of your career. The perception that will result professionally from you having this dynamic with her can give others in your company pause with future work opportunities. It may already raise eyebrows. Do you want to be placed on low-visibility, low demand projects? Do you want to be blackballed organizationally? Viewed as a potential liability? Judged in character by how you handle a woman in the office throwing herself at you?

You can have a professional relationship with her and not compromise your work or your marriage. Begin drawing the line. Lessen the jokes. Redirect comments back to the focus of your assignments you’re paid to perform.

No one wants to welcome affairs, inappropriate intimacy and other forms unprofessionalism in the workplace. Considering a sexual relationship with her may sound tempting, but a huge risk will be the fallout at work and the impact on your professional career. It’s not worth that risk.[/quote]
