Today, a coworker told me she may be in love with me. I admitted similar feelings and we agreed, since we're both happily married, not to spend time together anymore. Two hours later we were both promoted to run the same project, where we'll be "working hand in glove for the next couple of years." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, I got a new job where one of my co-workers is someone I have been in love with for over 5 years now. She's married but my feelings for her just won't go away. FML
Today, I confessed my feelings to the girl I like, who also happens to be my coworker. She told my boss, and they're laughing about it as I type this. FML
Today, I realized that I'm head over heels in love with my coworker. She's funny, caring, sweet, and the best person I've ever met. We're also both married. I dream about her every night, and the stress of not being able to tell her has overtaken my PTSD, making it impossible to sleep and barely function. Fuck Love. FML
Today, during the party for my last day at my old job, my office wife professed her love for me. We’re both married, we have no chemistry, and I’ve been dumping my work on her for three years. FML
Today, I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman I love to bits, but I have a crush on a coworker. I've tried to brush it off, but it's only getting stronger. The worst part? I think she likes me too. FML
Today, I realized the extent of my crush on one of my employees when I found myself cropping our picture out of the staff photo to see what we would look like as a couple. FML
Today, I found out that the man I've wanted to be with for the last year and a half also wants to be with me. Two weeks ago, I got a promotion! I'm also legally no longer allowed to date him. FML
Today, I got paired up with a coworker for a three-month project. All he talks about is how attractive my girlfriend is and what he would do with her. FML
Today, a coworker introduced herself to me and told me she hopes I enjoy my new job. We've worked in the same building for two years. I say hello every time I see her. FML

Just remember hand in glove doesn't equal ring on finger.

State that there is a conflict of interest to your boss. You really don't want to put yourself in that position, OP, especially once you decide to be loyal to your spouse.

You should just do the honorable thing and either refuse the promotion, or get a divorce. Honestly I am inclined to believe that it is best for you to get a divorce. You shouldn't string your spouse along, because if you really loved your spouse, you wouldn't have feelings for your coworker.

What's the problem? Just don't "do" anything that you shouldn't. A friend of mine told me that when he sees a woman that is attractive, he imagines her taking a dump and that tends to cut things short.

That's pretty mature of you both to try to avoid such a situation though.

You need to have a serious talk with your wife about that. The promotion is great and all but it's at the expense of your "Happy Marriage". Also what if your wife was in the boat of choosing between you and another coworker or guy how would you feel hope things work out.

OP it sounds like a bad situation and things sound like they're going to get tough. It may serve you both well to discuss it with your significant others if the relationships are as strong as you claim. If not, perhaps the commentators on this thread are correct and it's time for some couples counseling to help strengthen what you have and resolve any doubts. All relationships take work and discipline, and sometimes that means being brutally honest and totally vulnerable with your partner and then working together. And kids? Thinking you have feelings for someone else doesn't mean you chose the wrong partner, that its time to break up or that they're a bad person with relationship issues. It is something that is likely to occur in any long term relationship and your response to it when it happens will be a measure of your maturity.

Still, mad props that you do the right thing to steer clear. Or, at least tried to. Want to at least talk to your wife about it? I think it would only be fair if she knew...
