My co-worker and I are taken, but I’m still attracted to her. Help!

Hey Rosie,

I’m attracted to my co-worker. We are both in relationships, but we get along like a house on fire. We call each other work husband and wife. I think my girlfriend knows that I’m attracted to my co-worker and I try to downplay it, but it’s obvious. Do you think I should ask my co-worker what she thinks? We have never crossed the line, but I think about it often. I don’t want to mess up our great friendship.

Help

Dear Help,

Stop it! Why are you looking for problems? Really now, you want to explore messing around with your taken co-worker? Not smart at all.

You know that fable about the dog dropping its bone for the shadow, right? You are there looking at your co-worker as if you don’t have someone in your life who probably is already a fantastic partner to begin with.

What if the shoe was on the other foot? Would it be okay with you if your girlfriend was going to explore a man who excited her more than you? Listen, we all are attracted to people from time to time.  But commonsense should reign supreme and put those feelings on the back burner. It is inappropriate and wrong. 

 Again, stop it and I also can’t stand that work husband and wife shenanigans; it can lead to unwanted trouble as well.
