Good grief, I just read through this thread and now am wondering why on earth you started it in the first place as you obviously weren't looking for any advice at all. I'm sorry that a man who blatantly cuckolds his wife is your "hero". Your self-respect must be pretty minimal at best. Judging from his wife's reaction to you, he's no doubt been down this road before and she knows it but for whatever reason has thus far chosen to turn a knowing but blind eye.

Any experiences to share?

I am not going to share any specific details, but in general, it is a bad idea. While there are people on here who will say they had sex with/dated co-workers, and it turned out great, usually hooking up with someone from work tends to make things awkward. Even more so if it is a manager-worker bee relation. That is why many places of employment have "policies" against employee dating.

And don't think no one will know. Someone will figure it out, then the rumors will begin to fly.

Just to make a few things clear:
1. My job is secure and it has nothing to do with him.
2. If this ever gets out, it's he will be the one who gets fired, not me.

And 3rd, no nothing happened. not like that anyway. He came to my hotel, we hung out at the bar, came up to the room later on, watched TV and talked, perhaps kissed or whatever, then I fell asleep. I work up in the morning to find him lying beside me fully clothed (and so was I). He didn't seem to worry about his wife at all, which was very strange.

Nothing was discussed yesterday. We went out for lunch and walked around the city for about an hour. I brought it up this afternoon however, and he asked if he could drop by later for further conversation so we have a mutual understanding on this. BTW, he's only my manager for the next month or so before he moves on to another dept for a year and thereafter he will be retiring. The situation is not as bad as you all make it to be. The awful part is that he's still married but whatever.

Yes, something did happen. You "kissed or whatever" (whatever "whatever" might be) and he stayed the night with you while his wife was in their hotel room alone. And now he's going to "drop by later for further conversation so we have a mutual understanding on this"?

"The awful part is that he's still married but whatever." What does that mean and awful for who? Him, his wife or you?

I wouldn't be so complacent about your job, either. Your moniker could well soon become rearranged to MissUNLucky for more than one reason. Good luck for now.

MissLucky, I'm worried that you are going to get hurt. It's obvious that your heart is already invested in unattainable man. All his actions (like lying next to you with his clothes on) sounds romantic to you right now, but it's not going to last. Something WILL happen eventually because you will let it happen. You are on a dangerous territory, hun.

"Mr. Smith, would you take care of my appraisal this year?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"I want a raise, Mr. Smith"

"Alright, but I have a little raise down here. You do mine, I do yours"

Moral of the Story: Management Skills

Skank....no, Shes flattered by the attention. His wife has choices as well, she knows hes not going anywhere. I don't know why either one of these women would want him, hes addicted to the ego boost.

Terrible for him; payout opportunity for you. Sue him for sexual harassment.
