At any rate, I had a very serious work crush 20 years ago. We are together and happily married.

But this wasn't a crush on a married person that may have evolved into an emotional or physical affair, right?

EA- emotional affair

PA- physical affair

AP- affair partner

I don't even know what EA or PA means? From the context of comments it is some kind of AP?

At any rate, I had a very serious work crush 20 years ago. We are together and happily married.

Your partner probably disagrees. A crush takes energy out of the relationship.

What happened?

ended with a broken heart

I’m single and my boss is super hot but married. I dream of him bending me over my desk but it will never happen. I’m moving to a different department in two weeks and that will make a difference.

Leave him and his family the fk alone.

He’s not reciprocating. I have some respect.

Same here, except my supervisor is hot AF, brash, and hilarious. But his girlfriend is basically a supermodel and I am the polar opposite of that. So no reciprocation is ever going to happen, which is a relief. But the spice he has added to my fantasy life is immeasurable.

Left my spouse to be with AP. Worst idea ever. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, as they say.

No matter who you are with, there will be problems.

How did yours end, OP?

All this stupidity ends the same: someone gets bored, caught, and/or hurt.

It sounds like most of them end when one of the parties reduce contact / take another job to preserve their marriage.
