Exactly! So I feel if they're saying that, it's pretty clear they ARE indeed seeing each other outside of work...it's not just my imagination running wild!
I have gone to Happy Hour with my opposite sex boss numerous times. It is purely platonic. Not sure why you automatically assume it is more than that, AND that they are now conspiring against you?

I didn't assume it's more than that, I was just saying that they are flirtatious at work and I know that they're seeing each other outside of work. The different demeanor combined with the flirtation just made me paranoid, I guess ha ha.
After working for lawyers for 25 years, early on I realized not to get all worked up if they were acting weird. Family issues, work issues they have, etc.
Don't get all paranoid and let how THEY are acting bother you. Do your job well, keep your mouth shut and hopefully it will pass.
Update: So last week, my boss started acting more normal (at least, for himself) and was addressing me by my name again. Then today he reverted back to acting all strange again. I know that he and my co-worker who he flirts with saw each other last weekend. I'm not paranoid because she told him on Friday "I'll see you tomorrow!" So now I'm getting all worked up again that she's manipulating him. I just feel like she has this weird power over him and it's making me nuts when my work is so exemplary.

You, youself, said you have no idea why this other person would be out for you. And I am sure they are not. If you recognize that, it is so strange to me that you are tying these things together. I'm not trying to be mean, but you sound like you should really get some mental therapy.
I don't want to be close to him, trust me! I just am bothered by the change in his demeanor toward me.
My advice is to drop this whole issue and do not worry about it. If you ask him anything about it, it could only get worse. Keep your distance and don't gossip about it with co-workers. It's not your responsibility to deal with his personal problems. Is the upper-management active in interfering with office romances? If so, his days are probably numbered there.
