writes: I have fallen in love with the woman i work with. We chat a lot and we can tell each other anything. She knows things about me that i've never told anyone else. Problem is she's married. Things are not that rosy between her and her husband, but i don't think they would ever leave each other. When he works evenings / weekends she text me frequently and we laugh and joke about. Sometimes they seem to indicate she has feelings for me more than just friends, but i may be reading more into it than there is. When he is around i get the odd text, but not very often. I feel like kissing her or making some signal but don't want to ruin our friendship. Please help.

It's long..
Let her sort her marriage out, don't add to another mans' pain. Find someone who is free to love you. and love yourself enough to come out of this an honourable decent guy with morals, some strength and so much to give to a woman who is free to love you back.

reader, anonymous, writes (12 March 2006): Hi,I am the originator of this message just giving an update if anyone is interested. A couple of weeks ago we had a heart to heart chat and both confessed we have feelings for each other. At the time she said she can not and will not let anything happen between us to jeopardise her marriage or family. However since this chat we seem to have grown closer than ever and are very touchy feely in the office and last week we ended up on my couch kissing after work. She claims i will always have a special place in her heart, and i'm always on her mind.

It probably won't ruin your friendship since she seems to like you a lot. But if either of you act upon it, you should take notice of what other people are saying here on the board. There are consequences.And the chances are: one of you might not be able to control the situation if you kiss or signal her.So think soberly.

I feel for you here. I am married and in the same situation almost. But i came out and told him in a email no less, that i hoped i didn't over step and had no right to feel this way since he has a g/f and i am married but i am really attracted to you. He said thank you for being honest with me. and things are good with us but i still have the hots for him. but, as long as he don't pursue the issue i would let it rest, i don't want to ruin my marriage over a lust for friend. be careful all women are differet, if i was this girl and i would want you to tell me..i would rather know maybe see feels the same. just be prepared that she will pry never leave her husband. I hope this works for you. I wish you were the guy at my work...then i would know where things stand with us. take care

Sadly for you there may be little choice but to sit on your hands for the time being. If you declare your feelings now you are only going to add pressure to a already pressure cooker situation between her and her husband. Something that she may not thank you for and may ruin any chance of anything blossoming as well as the friendship.
You may have to accept that this women will never be your lover and confine yourself to platonic expressions of affection. In having her affections as a friend your relationship will never be subject to the same stresses and strains as a lovers one. Although she may not share your life with you as completely she will most likely share it with you for longer as a friend. I hoped that helped. I wish things were different and with you all the luck with this.
