He’s Falling For The Pretty, Young Au Pair He And His Wife Hired To Help With Their Kids
For more than a decade now, this 36-year-old man has been with his 35-year-old wife. Two years ago, they had their twin sons, which truly was a miracle, as they believed they could never get pregnant.
He and his wife both have challenging careers, so it didn’t take them long to realize they really need help caring for their boys.
His sister-in-law has an au pair, and she’s always talking about how wonderful this experience is for her family.
He and his wife thought about it and figured an au pair would be the best solution for them. They interviewed a list of people before finally settling on a 23-year-old girl who seemed amazing.
He and his wife own a little guest house located one minute from their own home, and their au pair moved there.
So far, their au pair has been nothing but incredible, and she has been with their family for close to a year. His wife adores their au pair, and she is outstanding with their boys.
“The only problem in all this is that I’ve started developing romantic feelings towards her,” he explained.
Their au pair is kind and intelligent, and she’s easy to talk to. He also can’t lie: she is pretty. Since he and his wife work so much, he rarely spends a lot of time with his wife.
But, their au pair is always home when he is, and she has become a constant in his life. Also, watching how she interacts with the boys makes him feel some type of way. It’s not just that she’s young and attractive.

Even though he is crushing on their au pair hard, he has not so far tipped his hand, so she isn’t aware of his feelings for her.
“I know she does not feel the same way, and even if she did, I’m still in love with my wife,” he said.
“That’s what disgusts me so much about how I feel, and I’d hoped it would be a passing infatuation. However, it isn’t, and I find myself growing more attached to the au pair by the day. Her being so young makes me feel very gross too. It’s very wrong, and I don’t know what to do.”
“What I know for sure is I have to tell my wife. But how do I even begin this conversation? I’m scared she’ll leave me, or worse, suspect the au pair has in some way invited this attention and throw her out when she’s been nothing but wonderful. If you guys have any suggestions on how I can broach this subject, I’d be grateful. I love my wife deeply and want this marriage to endure, but I can’t hide from my feelings anymore.”
