She’s Having An Affair With Her Boss, Who Says He’s In Love With Her, And She’s Wondering If It’s Time To Come Clean To His Girlfriend

A 23-year-old woman has been working at her current job in software development for two years now, and much of the time she’s been at the company she’s had to work from home.

So, she only met her 36-year-old boss for the first time in real life in the summer of 2020, and they quickly started becoming close.

At first, they were just friends, but they would meet up outside of work to play video games or go on hikes.

“I started to develop feelings for him, but kept them to myself as I knew he has a girlfriend,” she explained.

After months of spending time with her boss as just his friend, she couldn’t shake her feelings for him at all.

“Skip to April 2021: I still had feelings for him, although I tried online dating and meeting new people to get some distance, but it didn’t work,” she said. “So I told him during a hike, and he rejected me of course.”

Two months after her big confession followed by unrequited love, her dad passed away and her boss wound up being there for her in a big way emotionally.

As they were having a chat one day, her boss revealed to her that he had feelings for her since back in December of 2020, and she was floored.

Her boss went on to say that he could not be in a relationship with her though since he was already committed to his long-term girlfriend.

A few months later, they both went on a trip for business and they slept together. Suddenly, here she was having an affair with her boss.

Her boss said during their business trip that they should stick to only speaking together at work and that they should cut off their intertwined private lives.

“This lasted for a few days, we were a mess without each other, work wasn’t fun anymore,” she continued.

“I barely ate and sleeping was a nightmare. He told me afterward, that it was the case for him too.”

Although they did wind up back together with her boss cheating on his girlfriend with her yet again, they attempted to break things off for a second time this December.

One week after their break-up, they were again back together in secret, and they’ve stayed together since then.

She has no interest in finding a new job, and she has no way of putting the relationship with her boss behind her because she’s not interested in doing that.

A couple of days ago she decided to ask one of her friends at the company in management about what she should do, and she filled her friend in on the affair she was having with their boss.

Her friend had figured that she was sleeping with her boss but never confronted her or their boss about this.

It’s driving her crazy that her boss won’t commit to a serious relationship with her and leave his current girlfriend.

She does believe her boss wants to be with her over his girlfriend, but he feels too compelled to stay with his girlfriend since if he leaves her she might not have an opportunity to find someone else to have kids with since she’s in her 30s.

“In contrast, he doesn’t want to be a father yet, but would give her children only to make her dream come true,” she wrote.

“In my mind, this is so horrible. If I would fall out of love with my partner, I would leave them, as I don’t think it’s fair to them.”

She’s wondering if it’s time to reach out to her boss’s girlfriend to let this woman know about their ongoing affair.

She knows that if she follows through with this, it’s probably going to ruin her boss’s relationship with his girlfriend and also her relationship with her boss.

She’s also positive her boss will completely hate her for telling his girlfriend about them, but she doesn’t think any of them can walk away from this situation happy.
