| She is having a fling with her boss |
|
We all spend so much time in the workplace that it is inevitable that we are going, at some point, to form an emotional attachment to someone there. When this happens the individual circumstances of each person are of vital importance as this case perfectly illustrates. Sharon’s work as a PR journalist often involves long hours and tight deadlines in terms of completing specific projects. “We were working for a really important client doing work which required an all-night stay in the office,” says Sharon, “it was just me and my boss and we were working at the edge of our ability. It was the closeness of working together like this and the sense that we were on the same team and the all-night chemistry that made possible what happened next. We had finished and were both discussing how difficult it had been as a project. We had been brushing against each other all night as we moved charts around on the conference table and put together large-scale print-outs. We were both leaning very close together and his arm pressed against mine and the next thing we were on the floor, clothes coming off.” From that beginning Sharon and her boss began a clandestine office affair. “The company we work for frowns upon relationships between colleagues who are not on the same management rank and we decided to keep it quiet,” says Sharon. “Although I have always thought my boss was cool, I did not really know a lot about him. As our relationship has progressed I found out the other day that he was married. It was a bit of a shock as you can understand, particularly as he had never made any mention of a wife or a family before and I always assumed he was a single guy.” Sharon is now having second thoughts about it all. “We have continued to see each other in secret but I can’t help feeling that something has changed inside me about him. The fact that he did not tell me he was married at the beginning has changed my own feelings and apart from the one time we did discuss his wife he has not since said anything about her. I feel really confused.” Tags:

Does Sharon just like to mess around or has she fallen for her boss. Yes it is hard to tell if a person is married at times specially when they do not mention their spouses name. Dating married men, is trouble at some point, but does it make make her feel unconfortable knwoing he is married and that he was not straight with her.
If he has held things from her how can he be trusted? NO So do your thing and walk away now.
