[quote=Anonymous]There are too many nuances to each situation to make a broad rule.  I supervised a younger male colleague and we became very close. Esp as he was going through a depart on. But he was very close to all of us, my spouse included, and he spent a lot of time with us, spouse joked about him being my work husband (true) but there was never anything or even the idea of it. Maybe cause I’m 10 years older or whatever.

I went for drinks a few times with another married male colleague at another workplace and shut it down fast. Nothing happened and I was not interested in it happening but it just felt off or like a slippery slope.

I think with dh it’s the same. There is an energy with some encounters and not with others. Usually it’s about someone wanting more than friendship even if they are unconscious of it.

I will also say that dh got in trouble once because he told a colleague (who had lost a ton of weight) she looked great and she complained so he’s super super careful not to be alone with female colleagues if possible or do anything that could be misconstrued. It ended being fine (she had a history of complaining about people harassing her and it got even more bizarre and she left but still)…so if he now went for drinks it would definitely raise a red flag for me.
