Caught in the web of a workplace romance.

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I know it happens, I just never figured it would happen to me. I'm married (not happily) and I have been having warm fuzzy feelings for a single male NP who rounds here. I'm in my 30's and he is about 60 but he is very kind and dignified--silver fox. He is youthful and single and is looking for a partner. I am embarrassed but feel very drawn to him and it's even painful. :o:imbar I wonder if anyone can share their experience with a similar situation?

Handle your business at home. As fellow posters have already stated in one way or another, work on your marriage first - - -whether that means counseling that will lead to reconciliation or divorce.

I realize that alot of folks have found love and happiness in the workplace but you should try and make it a general rule not to S*hit where you eat. Workplace romances can lead to trouble.

Good Luck to you.

There is an old saying: If the person will cheat with you, they will cheat on you. It wouldn't be cheating for him but it would for you, and he knows it. I fell into a situation like this, and many years of misery followed. After cheating on me for years she left me for another colleague, then left him, then left the guy she left him for, and is on yet another husband from what I heard last.

wow, very realistic advice from all of the above. Yup, no drama, one step at a time. Did you try working out w/ your issues w/ your mate? If not at least start one ...a counseling is really good , becaseu whatever happens , you know you gave it the best ---- you owe it both, then you can push ahead guilty free !

Try not to have any romantic relationship at work.....this combination is volatile, and when it does not work, it causes more problems.

One may get into a phase of having crushes on some other person , specially when the marriege is not working....and thus is the reason whnd one is divorced ---you give your self to get out of that "rebound" stage. What to do ? Learn more about yourself, love yourself more and respect yourself -----you can not go wrong when you do this.

It means when you are old and supposedly near death-it's an old saying....Really an ageism remark.
