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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Maybe the four of you can go out to dinner and do a "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice".

First of all thank you for being responsible enough to try and keep the distance. Secondly, as many others here, I think you should talk to your SOs about it and be honest with them. And about the work thing, talk to your boss (together) and tell him there is a personal conflict.

If it's meant to be it's meant to be, and in your situation you two are meant for each other.

Maybe you could explain the situation to your boss and work something out as far as not working together.

You found the right person and you married her. Getting married wont stop you falling in love with someone else. It may remind you of the reasons you got married and what marriage means to you. You all (worker, partners) sound like lovely people, you and coworker have assessed the situation and dealt with it. You may want to talk about your great partners and all try and be friends or try and find a way to keep your distance. I wish you all the best in this hard situation.

All I can say is don't divorce the wifey right away (as some people are saying). I've seen couples almost separate for other people, but then decide to work it out and all ended well. There are also situations where one person leaves their SO, has their couple years of fun with the new person, then seriously regrets it when the sparkles of the new relationship are over. If you think not separating with your wife will end with you cheating on her, then go right on ahead and divorce before it comes to that. But I seriously think you should try to work things out with her.

By the sounds of it you've fallen out of love with your wife, otherwise this wouldn't have happened. You need to talk to her and work on making your marriage romantic again and bring back the feelings you once had for your wife. I salute you for dealing with the situation and not cheating on her. Even if your reasoning seems to be that to cheat is so darn tempting that you have to lock yourself away from your co-worker.

I feel sorry for the people you and your co-worker are married to, OP. How did you two get that close that you fell in love with each other? If someone can honestly explain it to me, then please do.

At least you're remaining faithful to your wife, however painful itay be. I hope you can pull through without cheating. I really do. Best wishes, and here's to hoping I do not get downvoted for this.

Instead if turning to FML you need to TALK TO YOUR WIFE. Now. Today. DON'T cheat. A job is not worth it. Find a new job. Don't hurt your wife.
