My drunk boss admitted to an affair with my late husband.
To start off, me (28F) and my boss (30M) had a fairly close relationship. We would regularly go out to pubs or football games when we weren’t working together. I had a lot of respect for him but that all changed after one stupid night.
My boss, Luca, and I went out to a pub a few nights ago as he was trying to get my mind off the fact it was my late husband, James’s, supposed to be birthday.
Luca and I were talking about some great memories of when me James and Luca would go out. I could have never prepared myself for what I was going to hear next.
Luca turned around to me and asked if he could tell me something he’s been trying to keep from me for over 5 years.
I shake my hand in front of me as to say ‘go ahead.’ As I am swirling my straw around my cup listening to him stutter explaining that he was finding it difficult to say.
Luca then finally spits it out. “After you and James got married, we was talking by the bar and, well, we got to know each other pretty quickly. I passed over my number to him and we continued to talk.
At first it was maybe once a week if that, than it quickly progressed to everyday. I began to fall in love with him and he began to love me too.”
My heart dropped and I stood up to walk out, so many questions spun round my mind but the only one I could muster out was “Did you sleep together?”
I see Luca’s head nod up and down and I instantly walk out. Now i’m sitting at home writing this wondering what to do.
I have been back to work and it’s been a few days. He keeps trying to text me and call me. He even showed up to my house, luckily I was shopping and couldn’t answer the door as I wasn’t home, What do you think I should do now?
