FALLEN FOR MARRIED WORKMATE

-

Dear Coleen

I started working with a man and it soon became obvious that we’re both attracted to each other. He is 67 and I will be 60 this year. We’ve texted each other many times and of course see each other at work. But here’s the problem – he’s married.

I don’t understand why I’m so attracted to him – he seems cautious, even though he’s OK when he’s texting. But when we’re together he doesn’t say much about what’s happening.

I feel I don’t know where I stand – should I walk away from this?

Coleen says

In a word, yes, unless you’re comfortabl­e with having an affair and being his bit on the side. He’s married and until he comes to you and says he’s left his wife, then I think it would be pretty foolish to get any more involved than you are.

Of course he’s cautious, because I imagine he doesn’t want anyone (mainly his wife) to find out he has a thing for you.

And why are you waiting around for him to say something on the situation? Tell him what you think about what’s happening. I don’t know why you’re attracted to him, but ask yourself if it could be partly because he’s ‘off limits’ or simply that you’re seeing him every day at work.

But whatever happens between the two of you, remember you’ll have to work together unless one of you jumps ship and finds another job.
