So I am new here, and this is not easy for me to post. I'm sorry if this is long...
I have been working at my company for about 3 1/2 years now, about 2 1/2 years ago I met the man who is now my boss. Since I met him I have found him attractive, but I never thought anything of it. I have changed positions so I can be his personal assistant. I have only been working for him personally for 6 months now.
When I met him he and I always seemed to get along well, we chatted and laughed and just had fun together. I was unhappy in my position so when the opportunity to work for him came up I approached him and he hired me.
We worked very well together and our business has almost doubled in the 6 months we have worked together. The type of work we are in kinda of consumes your life and so we have worked very close for long hours and really were able to ggrow even closer. We would talk about anything and everything. It was only a couple months when I realized I could trust him with anything. He has become my best friend.
About 2 months ago we were at a company golf tournament. We went together and so after the event he was driving me home. We all had a few drinks throughout the day, so while talking we seemed to open up a little more. It was on this night that we admitted there was something more between us then just our friendship and work relationship. Since then we have grown very close, work has somehow even gotten easier and we are doing even better, we talk all the time. He sends me messages when he isn't in the office telling me how much he misses me. There is a very strong connection between us.
Now I know that interoffice relationships is a no-no on its own. What makes me feel even worse and makes this situation even more... unacceptable I suppose. My boss is married and expecting his first child. While it is no excuse, his wife is not there for him like he needs. She leaves town for the cottage for weeks at a time, she doesn't take any interest in his business, they have only been married for 2 years and he is just not completely happy.
I am trying to fight the feelings I have for him, I want him to be happy. I know it seems selfish of me to stay working for him, but this is my career, and working for him is the best thing for my career. It is just hard to keep my feelings from him to myself, the more time we spend together, the more he shares himself with me, the more I fall for him. I don't want to ruin his marriage, but I have never had something like this with anyone and it would break my heart to have this end.
What do I do?
