[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had an affair at one point. We reconciled. Then I got a new job. My boss was an awesome guy and we got along great. We had the same interests, same sense of humor, were similar in age so referenced culture stuff for jokes, I was really thankful to work for someone I got along well with. HOWEVER. I was always very cognizant of our relationship like how we appeared to others. I never hung out in his office with the door closed. We went and got lunch sometimes, and always would ask if anyone wanted to join us on the way out. We talked a lot about our families. I had this boundary for my own personal integrity...I knew what could happen when boundaries get blurred, and despite me having no romantic interest in this man, I decided to create my own boundaries for myself. And I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me or my boss.

I agree with PP...you are already in an emotional affair. You are justifying your actions to yourself..."it's not a deep romantic connection." "No intimacy." "Harmless crush." "Work husband." Have you heard the phrase, the grass will grow where you water it? Well you're watering the heck out of the work husband and ignoring the real husband. So OF COURSE the work husband will look better and make you feel better. Understand?

But yeah, you're on a slippery slope. Especially at work. Also do you really want to jeopardize your career over this? Because let's face it, it's always the woman who gets blamed when gossip like this comes out. Especially when he's divorced and you're married. [/quote]
