Waiting to be free

Few days ago, I had a chat with one of my colleagues at the office. He was telling me a story about a very attractive woman, the mistress of his boss, that drove him crazy with her nonchalant attitude.

I did not fear to show to my colleague that I liked and was very impressed by his story, but I did not tell him the true reason of that. He was actually very proud of having that woman in bed with him as soon as she broke up with his boss: he was flirting with her whenever she got into the office to visit her lover (the boss) and when he found out they were not together anymore, he took her out. What “moved” me so much is that, in the meantime, we was offering his shoulder to his poor boss suffering for losing the “restless lady” (the boss was very in love with her, but she was only after his money).

Actually, the reason I was so deeply moved by his story is that it somehow happened to me too, very long time ago… The difference is that in the story it was not my boss, but one of my “best friends” (as he pretended) - and I had the unfortunate role of the cheated boss.

I don’t know if I should call this cheating, but I know that I was very furious, mad and disappointed when I heard that my ex-lover was getting out with my “best friend”. It is true, she was not with me anymore at that time but I was still in love with her (she was my first love) and I was terribly suffering after we broke up.

And I was so naive and foolish to share my pain with that “good old friend” of mine who seemed to listen to me and offer me his compassion, while he was patiently waiting to get along with the most important woman for me at that time.

Of course, neither him nor my ex-girlfriend admit about their relationship, even if sometimes it was so obvious. I said to myself that it doesn’t matter anymore, that this was a good lesson to learn and that maybe someday, I’ll get my revenge.

And I did - oh God, I did get my revenge on both and they don’t even know.

At the office - loving or cheating ?

8 hours per day or even more…

Working hard, side by side, being in the same team, going through successes or failures, having lunch together, laughing and making jokes, bad-talking the boss - what all these things can create between a man and a woman ?

What happens when they start changing looks, glancing at each other or simply not being able to have a short brake without each other ?

Moreover, what happens if they accicentaly touch each other ?

How should I think about all this without suspecting myself that I am not getting into a love affair with my working colleague, that things will not evolve even more and finally end with a .. romantic evening or.. maybe in a very delicate and warm bad ?!

Oh God, and what if a marriage is involved ?

You spend half of the day, half of your life with one person that is not your husband or wife, but that you feel so attracted to: emotionally and sometime even physically (some say that there is always a physical attraction in the beginning).

And you spend only a few hours with your spouse, in the evening, when you are so tired over the hard working day. In my case, week-ends are sometimes ruined too - and that is because of some more work.

So, what can you do ?

  • Cheat your love one - sounds bad, but very tempting and sounds like a real air balloon for your routinely intimate life. Risks involved ? Getting caught and losing both or even worth getting involved in your affair
  • Leave your love one - that’s easy to say, but hard to do when you are involved in a long, long term relationship and you share so many things together with your life partner. But you might get into a new relationship that is so naturally build - the relationship with your colleague.

Is there any other solution ?

However, besides the fact that some companies strictly interdict love affairs between their employers, is this really a good option on long term ? I mean, seeing someone every single day - is this good or bad ? How good, how bad ?

Don’t we get at the same point after that magic attraction goes off ?
Or even worth, by working together with your love partner, you install faster that routine in your couple.

I am so curios to know if there is any successful couple that work together of if there is someone there who tried this and failed.

I look for that and get my answer.
