writes:Is this wrong?I am a single woman living somewhere in Florida. I started working at a consulting firm a year and half ago. Since that time I gotten a long with quite a few colleagues very well. Specifically, a few colleagues one of which is a partner ( and my boss) at the company (to the point that people often joke that we flirt etc.). We were just joking because he is 12 years older than I am and had 3 young kids with his wife. However, we have recently become involved. He says he is seperated and we have gone away by ourselves. However, I am worried at perception: (a) I am 28, he's 40, (b) he was married with 3 elementary school-aged kids when I joined the company, but now he's separated and we are invovled, (c) he's my boss and (d) does he want something serious after a separation. (e) Am I his rebound?I know the issues with workplace romance, but I don't know.need answers...

Even if he is, more than likely you are getting yourself involved in a rebound relationship. What is going to happen if this relationship doesn't work out? Men in the workplace prey on women like you. Can you afford to put your job on the line for an affair? You are a single mother so I know that your income is important to both you and your child. I say your best bet is to discontinue this relationship, and look for a new job.

The top bosses were not impressed she lost her job (because it was so awkward) and he was overlooked for promotion. It's not considered acceptable. He told that we were separated too. I was pregnant with our third and were moving to a better house. NOT separated so wait for the divorce. Think carefully. and understand the consequences. She seemed shocked when I told her that we are still together and still sleeping together. You could be being fooled. Keep your knickers on until your sure they're divorced or are really over then if your serious the age gap is not the biggest problem.

Not good to become involved with your supervisor.He is still married - separated does not mean he's divorced - as you must surely know. And even if he were divorced, not your boss, and the first woman he dated after his divorced, there is the danger of rebound.
