I felt I was not in a position to say no, and I met for dates over several months. I agreed to an out-of-court settlement with the Law Firm. My partner and I no longer work there. My H knew nothing about any of it, as it all occurred while he was on extended TDY. He found the settlement documents on our shared household computer. H said he is more upset about my hiding the whole settlement than the fact that I might have had an affair. He says if I was indeed sexually abused at work, why wouldn't I tell him, and further that I hid the settlement from him is a breach of trust that cannot be repaired.
I have always felt with his constant travel that H is never there to take care of me. Now, I need him when I have a back injury and he won't help.
We had a paralegal get involved with a married partner at a Biglaw firm. He tried to break it off, and she went ape-shit. Threatened to sue the firm, etc. They ended up giving her a year's salary. Her husband found out about the affair and the settlement, and his reaction was "that's all you got"? Pretty crazy.
