Having an affair with your manager, anyone?
Hi guys,
Here's my dilemma: I work in a office with around 15 staff, including my manager, who's been happily married for 2 years now. Last week as he drove me home he told me there is something he needs to say, but once said, it would have great impact on our friendship. I'm thinking to myself "oh fuck, this isn't happening to me. I think I know what he's gonna say". And then he said it. He said he likes me and we connect on so many levels, blah blah blah.... But here's the thing: I do like him. A lot. He's incredibly smart and funny. God damn I melt when those two qualities combine in perfection. We've always enjoyed conversations, on many topics, not only on work. Never had I thought this would play out in reality because HE'S MARRIED for god's sake. In retrospect, he did mention before it's possible for a man to love two people at once. Anyway, we still had sex that night back at my place. The thought of going to work on Tuesday is just totally unbearable, I don't what to do.....!! Please give your wisdoms on this issue, thanks. |

We connect on so many levels blah blah blah. Heard it from my boss many years ago. Yeah it was awkward. The thing is I didn't feel the same way, and yes he was married. Because he was married I never would have slept with him. Ever. In a million years. That would have made me a home wrecker (IMO) which I wasn't prepared to do. Funny thing is he was the HR Manager. Not going to go on about the guy other than to say he was a real piece of work. Bottom line is you've been played. And there's a good chance you're not the first subordinate employee he's slept with. Yes that's you. The subordinate employee. If you think it's going to end well then you're deluded because he holds the power in the relationship. And no he's not going to leave his wife for you. Ever.
Yes you've got to go back to work on Tuesday but you've got to decide what to do. Yes you could ask for a pay rise and a promotion but that will most likely end very badly (ironically Letterman's in the news at the moment because he testified in front of a grand jury - someone found out he'd been having affairs and tried to extort him). Best thing you could do IMO is talk to him and say it can't happen again. BTW I'd also keep a few notes handy in case he tries to sack you or decides to make life difficult for you. Don't beat yourself up about it. Can't change what's happened. If you try to be a bit mature about it then you might come out relatively unscathed. |

"dont break up a happy home ! "
but seriously, unless you love him /want to pursue it further, i would end it and just enjoy the fact that you hooked up once.

You can continue with it, but know that if you do so, there's a 99% chance it will all blow up one day. When that day comes, one of you will be walking out of your job. Keeping in mind he's the manager ... Do you back yourself to be the ones that stays?
Alternatively you can just blow it off as though it never happened on Tuesday and never really speak of it again. Yeah, it will always be there, but give it a month or two and it will pass if you just get on with work. The one thing you CAN'T do, is start thinking about him further like you've already kinda started to do. He's fucking married until he takes action otherwise, don't be the bad person that keeps it going because he's tugged a few heartstrings. That would be brutally disrespectful to all 3 parties, one of whom you don't even know. |

please try not and fall for him; the fact that he has slept you now really shows you what kind of guy he is: dishonest and selfish.
He probably picked up on the fact that you were crushing on him and took advantage of it.

I have been in your situation and my advice is to forget about it and him completely. I would also recommend finding a new job if you can.
My boss, who had been a good friend for years did the same thing two weeks after he got married. I was stupid enough to believe that what we had was genuine and that he would somehow annul the marriage or leave her to be with me. Especially with all the crap he said to me. Two months went on before I woke up to myself and ended it. It took nearly 8 months for things to return to any normality and working with him during this time was fucking awful. An affair is bad enough, an affair with your boss is another thing entirely. DON'T do it. |

That's a stupid situation to be in and it's only your fault. You think at the end of the day he would leave his wife for some one like you? I doubt it highly. I have no respect for people like him or you stop thinking with your vag and use your head.

Let him smash every hole in you body, then get pregnant.
Then the money will come rolling in for the next 18 years. You can retire. Seriously, grow the fuck up. Just because your life isn't satisfactory doesn't give you the right to contribute to several other lives being as fucked as yours.

Hmmmm my now step mother had an affair with my dad 21 years ago, he was her boss, they are now happily married with two kids. Not trying to excuse it, but it all worked out in the end. Me as a 28 year old can see they love each other so much and are still happy, as an 8 year old child it was pretty traumatic

You should kill him and send his severed head to his now ex wife as you marry the decaying body in a satanic ritual that will keep you together forever

Worst Idea ever !!!!
He will never leave his wife for you .. his little "it's possible for a man to love two people at once" comment proves that .. so your always going to be walking on eggshells especially at functions where he brings his wife .. who more than likely already knows about the indescretion you will lose all respect from your work collegues when they find out . and they will .. they always do ..

This comment tells the whole story. If he is willing to cheat on his wife of x years with you without regret, what makes you think that your relationship with him means anything. "Oh I love you, we connect on so many levels!" *push push squirt* "Get the fuck out of my office, slag!"

does this guy have kids? I can tell you the pain an affair causes children in a marriage first hand if you like? I could talk to you about it for hours. Maybe then you will reconsider.

ok so 95% of responses on here have suggested what you're doing is a bad idea subliminal.
You said you "don't know what to do"...well now you do, the people have spoken. Now is when you look at yourself in the mirror question whether you are a) a dopey bitch who has no self control b) a free thinking person who knows when to take good advice

I got a sweet porno.... the story line goes like this.
That awesome whorebag Katja Kassin is fucking this guy then she finds out that his whole business is in his wifes name. So she makes him pay her $10,000 a month to keep her mouth shut and continue to pump her ass with 3 dildo's and his cock. Pretty awesome innit. Thats what you should do, IMO. |

We connect on so many levels, particularly the penis/vagina one.
