[quote=Anonymous]I think this depends on the nature of your relationship w/ the MB and what you would want/hope for that relationship in the future.  Pretty hard for us to assess.

In general I think there is no harm ever done by maintaining some personal/professional boundaries - even in the friendliest of relationships between nanny and boss.  What if you get her advice but decide to ignore it?  What if you follow her advice and it goes badly?  What if there is an ongoing saga with you and the ex and you end up regretting letting your boss know so much about your personal life?

Initially I was going to say sure, go ahead and ask her.  But as I'm writing this and thinking it through I think I'm convincing myself it isn't really a good idea.  How much light can she really shed on the subject anyway given that she only has a very passing knowledge of your ex?  Being married for a while gives her (perhaps) a useful perspective but that perspective can be useful, or not, regardless of whether it's your ex or someone else that you're thinking about.

I would be really careful about mixing work and personal.  REALLY careful.

Good luck.[/quote]
