Anatomy of an Affair

What really happens?


Affairs of the heart happen often in the work setting.  This happened quite often at a company I used to work for years ago.  Two married people meet each other at work and realize that they have something in common with someone who is not their spouse.  They begin to confide in each other then spend time with each other until one day they go farther than they should.

They say they shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't...

but they couldn't, couldn't, couldn't resist...

So then what usually happens is the woman decides that she still loves her husband and she goes back to him.  However she then has to report the man she had the affair with as having harassed her.  He ends up getting fired.  And she cries because she knows she was at fault.  This scenario has happened time and time again.  A truly repentant person can maybe get past this however there are those that simply don't care and do it again and again irregardless of the curses they bring upon themselves and their children.

I have seen this happen again and again in the workplace.  People never learn...
