He loves his wife and doesnt stop talking about her. But after a couple of months passed and we got over the initial embarrassment the flirting started again although nothing meterialised.Now its xmas again, i like him and NO flirting has taken place but im worried at the fact that part of me wants it to.If it does what do i do! He's someone who i like and i know its wrong but i really do not know what to do!

You said this: He loves his wife and doesnt stop talking about her....
And I assume when you say one thing led to another, you mean you had sex?
Errm, NO, he doesnt love his wife as a man who LOVES their wife does NOT have an affair with another woman.
Walk away whilst you can. He has no respect for his wife, you or himself and if he cheats on his wife, then my dear he will only hurt you.
Walk way, NOW. xxx

Be a respectful person and mind your own business. Take the high road and keep your pants on. What's the point of all this anyway? If you just want sex, have it with someone else who's not taken.

I think part of you is feeling very bored in the festive season and thinking of ways to brighten up things - unfortunately your married boss situation is going nowhere fast...he is married...he cheated...he is your boss...three reasons not to have sex with the guy! You have a lot to lose - credibility in the workplace, career prospects and personal dignity and not much to gain...he sleeps with you then goes home to sleep with his wife...why settle for so little? He shouldn't have let it happen in the first place - as a boss he should have put some thought into the situation with his first brain, not let brain no.2 take over! However, you cannot change him - you can take charge of your own emotions. It is ok to like the guy but he is out of bounds...find someone single with all those traits you like.

His wife LOVES him and wants to grow old with him and enjoy a day when their Grandchildren are running around them and Happy that Grandma and Grandpa love one another.
Family is EVERYTHING.
Get your own.

It is very common for people to end up making mistakes during christmas parties etc.
If you don't want things to happen again with this man you'll simply not allow it to happen.
If that means not drinking, you won't drink. If it means not putting yourself in social situations where he is, then you won't.
So don't act as if you arn't in control of your own actions, because you are. If things do happen then it's because you've wanted them to happen and you must accept any consequences.

Why would you honestly believe that being a reason to break up a family and destroy others happiness and security will bring you peace and happiness?
Please say you are not so self involved that you can not put your own selfish needs aside for the sake of others.
Did you come from a home where Dad abandoned you and your Mother for some youngerish woman? How did it make you feel? Did it bring you happiness?
I commend this man for smartening up and not flirting with you. I hope he came clean with his wife and had faced she was going to toss his pathetic ass aside and find a REAL man who can be FAITHFUL and loving...that is what she married and that is what he promised to be.
Better late than never.
Leave him alone. He isn't yours. He's done being stupid so clue in.
Find yourself an available man that will understand what being faithful is.
Merry Christmas.

Take care
