Her Boyfriend Slept With His Work Wife While They Were On A Break

It’s been nearly a decade that this 28-year-old woman and her 27-year-old boyfriend have been with one another.
Sadly, a couple of weeks after she gave birth to their second child five years ago, her boyfriend cheated on her.
Right after that, they decided to take a break for a whole month, as she couldn’t emotionally deal with his infidelity.
They then got back together, moved to the other side of the country, and have been putting in the work to mend their relationship.
Things were on the up and up, but several months ago, they hit a bad spot. They were fighting a lot, and she says it wasn’t healthy.
She and her boyfriend both have high-stress careers, a lot of stress around money, and little kids, which hasn’t been a good mix for them.
So, they chose to take a few months off from their relationship and went on break number two to take the opportunity to work on themselves.
Unfortunately, while they were separated, her boyfriend began sleeping with a female coworker who is also his work wife and best friend.
She has never liked this woman, and during the last three years her boyfriend has worked with her, his coworker hasn’t respected any normal boundaries.

Her boyfriend’s coworker will text him all night and day, send memes that aren’t appropriate, and flirt outright.
While doing all of this, her boyfriend’s coworker insisted she wanted to be her friend and spend time with her.
She eventually asked her boyfriend to put some limits on this woman, and she continued to ask that of him for years, but her boyfriend didn’t think his coworker was doing anything wrong.
So, this marks the second time her boyfriend cheated on her anyway, and they’re back to trying to make their relationship work once again.
“Since we have started reconciling, I stated that if he didn’t put clear boundaries in place with her, I would not stay with him,” she explained.
“He removed her from social media and doesn’t text unless it’s work-related; however, they work side by side every day. To add fuel to the fire, she admitted that she has feelings for him and had every expectation that by sleeping together, he would cut all ties with me to be with her. Which he very passionately denies would ever happen.”
“I don’t want to give up on our relationship, however, I’m not sure if I can handle the fact that he and her are still friends. Some days, I’m okay with it because it happened whilst we were separated; he was honest and has assured me he doesn’t want her in any capacity. But then there are other days when I honestly feel sick to my stomach at the thought of them near each other constantly.”
She’s left wondering how she should attempt to move forward. What advice do you have for her?
