I might be falling for my co-worker
I’m very happily married. I love my wife more than anything. She is seriously is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I would never risk losing her.
But I started a new job 5 months ago, and I started developing a crush on one of my co workers. Whenever we’re partnered up on assignments, we just have a great time being in each others company.
We have so much in common and make each other laugh constantly. As I said, I’m married and she’s been in a serious relationship for years.
I just feel weird about the whole situation. Like I said, I would never do anything to jeopardize my marriage, but I feel guilty being so happy and looking forward to spending time with this other woman.
I started thinking about her a lot more in the last month or so. I’ve had a few romantic dreams about her too. I think we just connected instantly and now my brain is taking it too far.

- So stop talking to her. Request to your boss that you not be partnered up for assignments. You don’t have to give a reason for it, just tell him you work best with others.
If you HAVE to stay partnered, solely keep conversations about work — nothing personal, and no more than is absolutely necessary. - My friend, you know how the saying goes, don’t poop at where you eat. It’s absolutely fine and okay to have crushes and fantasies but make sure you don’t act on it, especially when you are already married and the other woman has a relationship of her own. Don’t be that guy.
- I think the fact that you are feeling guilty towards your wife over this crush on the other girl shows that you are on the right track, don’t do anything to jeopardise your own marriage and other people’s relationship and you’re fine.
