My old boyfriend - high school/college sweetheart, actually - has been calling me... I'm married, he's married (with kids). I've told MrMosley all about it, so I don't mean that I am hiding anything... But I don't want him to get any ideas, you know? However, that could be just my ego talking - it's possible he seriously just wants to be friends again! /me confused - advice appreciated!
Ah, Mrs. Mosley, you're a better person than I am. I am certainly NOT someone to give advice for this topic! However, I'll use this forum as my confessional.
For ten months, a co-worker and I have been flirting with each other. We're both married with kids and neither of us would ever cheat on our spouses, but I suspect that if either of our spouses saw a video tape of how we act towards each other, the divorce papers would be drawn up, which neither of us wants. Nothing has ever crossed any line, and most of it isn't anything more than just casual comments ("Morning, Gorgeous!" "You look smokin' hot today.") But there is definitely a sexual charge between the two of us. Still, it's like "Moonlighting." Sexual tension and banter that would completely fizzle if anything ever came of it (which it WON'T). Are we bored, both of us having been with the same person since high school (about 17 years)? Maybe. Is it an emotional release for us while working in a stressful job? Absolutely! Do I feel guilty about my behavior? I just typed "not at all", but then deleted it. Now I'm stuck on "hmmmm..." A chorus from a Panic! At the Disco song is stuck in my head:
Keep quiet Nothing comes as easy as you Can I lay in your bed all day? I'll be your best kept secret and your biggest mistake The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day Well, at least it's the weekend. I can indulge my spouse in the kind of treatment that my flirt-mate will never receive. Then I'll go back to work on Monday and see how long I can hold my tongue before the cycle starts over again.
Come on people, confess with me. I can't possibly be the only one out here that has done this.
