writes:Can someone give me some advice.....I was having trouble with my partner and there was this guy from work who also was having trouble. He split up with his girlfriend and we became very close helping each other. There was this initial attraction but besides that we just talked every day. My boss called me in and asked me straight out and she said my number was his phone bill a few times. I couldn't lie so i said we are friends and there is nothing in it we are just talking. She told me to be careful. Well he has stopped talking to me. I think she has made up stuff and told him i have been saying stuff even though she has been making out to my friend. I really do not know if i should confront him or leave it as i don't want him to think i have been gossiping and making stuff up.

 I suppose you mean your number was on his phone bill at work??
Anyway, maybe other coworkers noticed how much the two of you were talking, and started gossipping, so that it reached your boss' ears. Not uncommon in a work setting.
However, you really DON'T know that she spoke to your coworker as well as to you, now do you? Its possible that the man felt awkward or embarrassed if in fact others were noticing, and knowing you have a partner decided to pull back.
There are too many unknowns here to be sure of what's going on - and besides, what do you mean by saying "she is making out to my friend"? Are you saying your boss is now flirting with him?
So much of this is speculation. I think you'd do better at this point to leave it alone - and work on your relationship with your partner, if that is troublesome.....
