I Am Having Affair With My Married Boss
My manager and I started working at the same location just over six months ago. We have known each other through the company for about two years. He was always my go-to person whenever I had a question because my manager at the time had no idea what he was doing.
In these past six months or so, he and I have become really good friends. I wouldn't say that he is physically attractive.... huge nerd. But I'm attracted to facial expressions and mannerisms. I've always loved that he knows what he's doing. If he doesn't know how to do something, he actually takes the time to learn. When someone else doesn't know what they're doing, he takes the time to teach them.
He and I seem to have this deep connection that I'm not sure how to describe. We always know what the other is thinking and often text each other about the same random thing at the same time. We joked about it a lot when we first noticed it happening and claimed some sort of ESP. We just know each other well and we have a great working relationship - which is why we started calling ourselves the Dream Team, haha.
We worked a couple of "overnighters" together (mostly just the two of us), and really took the time to get to know each other while we worked. During one of these overnighters, he hinted (not so subtly) that he was interested in a relationship with me if the opportunity was available.
I don't remember how it started, but we started an inside joke about ditching work to go bowling. Eventually, we were serious about it, but we haven't gone yet. It's difficult for him to find time to actually go and do stuff because of his family. He has been married for a few years (less than five, I'm not sure exactly how long though), and they just adopted a beautiful baby girl almost four months ago. I completely understand, but it frustrates me when he says we should do something and doesn't follow through, or takes a long time. But earlier this month, we met for lunch. Afterwards, we sat in his car and talked about some of his fears... what if his wife saw our texts, etc.
Our relationship has not been physical at all yet. And I'm glad. I feel that it's still early in our relationship and we still have a lot to discuss. I've been avoiding some of those conversations, but I know we need to have them eventually.
