A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been in a relationship with my bf for almost 4 years. We just rented a house in another city so that I can finish school and get my bachelor's degree in the healthcare field. I will be able to move back to Atlanta in less than a yr and a half. Right now we live in separate cities. Lately, I have been hanging out with a co-worker because he was broken up with a month ago and he wanted to talk. My co-worker and I have been talking non-stop for the past three weeks and he confessed to me that he liked me before he got into the relationship with his ex (We all worked together: my bf, myself, my co-worker, and his ex-gf) I also had a crush on him but we both know our boundaries with one another.

He knows that his time with me is running out and he has started confessing that his feelings for me are growing stronger and he has never been able to talk to a girl so naturally before. I have started to feel the same way about him too. I don't want our time together to run out. And honestly I would like to be able to kiss him, hold him, and touch him. He's a great person. He would be a great catch for any woman. I know it's wrong but I can tell he feels the same way.

I don't believe in polygamy but I think you can have an emotional connection with more than one person. Neither him or my bf feel the same way. They want complete monogamy and I don't really know what to do. What should I tell my co-worker?

I've expressed these feelings and it takes a lot of restraint for me not to try to kiss him. I know if I did he would go with it. I don't want to hurt either one of them. I love my boyfriend but I just don't know what to do with this. Any advice? Am I terrible person if I do kiss him?

I have been where you are right now, and it went bad we both split from our partners and chaos started. we never seen a month together. I would think twice about a work place romance. Most companys have rule against it. I wish you luck, remember when it comes to the heart we all skip a beat now and then. Please look at all the possible outcomes before ending a long relationship.
