Having a Work Spouse Is Not as Fun as It Sounds
In the end, someone is going to get hurt.
I’ve been trying hard to stop flirting with my boss. Even though my flirting is harmless, and I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his marriage, I thought to myself that I needed to stop flirting with him.
I even thought it would be so easy to control, and boy was I wrong.
Flirting with him is not only fun, but our flirting has become a part of our relationship.
So, how can I stop when that’s part of how we communicate? It might seem hard to do, but it is possible if it’s something I genuinely want.
What sucks for me is I’ve realized I drew the short stick out of this situation, and if anyone is going to get hurt in the end, it’s going to be me.
Why is that?
I let my feelings get the best of me, which led me to fall in love with a man with no chance of being together.
I continued to let my feelings for my boss grow and become known that he found out about my feelings for him.
I believe he uses that information to his advantage because what man doesn’t like knowing other women are in love with him?
