“Over the span of two years, I had FOUR workplace affairs.”
We received so manyjuicy,compellingsubmissions that we had to make a part three!
Here’s what people revealed:
1.
“I was a part of a workplace affair that lasted for well over a year.
He was my boss; we were both married.
It started before he left our company for a job in another state.
I would visit him and spend days at his house since his wife and children hadn’t moved yet.
My husband thought I was traveling for work.
We got away with it for about a year until his wife saw our text messages.
She showed up at our work, confronted me, and beat me up.
My company bullied me into not pressing charges.
Then, eventually, they pushed me out altogether.
Last I heard, they were still together.
I regret all of it and would never want to hurt someone like that again.”

He was an engineer, 15 years older than me, and I was a nurse.
He’d always come to my floor multiple times throughout his day.
We hit it off immediately.
We were well aware we were both married.
The chemistry was intense between us magnetic, in fact.
He had the key to every door, closet, and room in that entire place.
We had sex everywhere, and I mean everywhere!
Boiler room, empty patient rooms, elevator, staircases, and even the hospital rooftop.
It was such an intense two years, and then it all came crashing down.
His wife and my husband found out, and well, you get where the rest is going."
“I had a five-year-long off-and-on situationship with my ex-coworker.
We only had sex once in that whole time but did A LOT of the other stuff.
We sometimes met up on breaks and lunches and even outside of work.
It got messy towards the end.
Turns out I wasn’t the only one.
I was one of many.”
“His marriage fell apart over another affair he was having.
The next message he sent was asking me not to ghost him.
I started sort of secretly seeing one of the guys.
He ended things because his ex was pregnant, which was fun to deal with at work.
Now, Im in a healthy relationship, and it turns out the kid isnt his.”
“I worked in a high-level government role in Las Vegas.
Two people on the exec team were having an affair; one was married, and one was single.
They thought they were subtle, but it was super obvious to everyone.
She regularly stole employees to work for her, terrorized people, etc.
So, I didn’t feel guilty for what I did.”
As soon as the letters were delivered, I saw a huge flurry of urgent, secret meetings.
Unfortunately, the two people having the affair kept their jobs.
“I had an evening radio show back when radio was still a thing.
We ended up having an affair that lasted six months or so.
The sex was phenomenal!
I had been married for several years (and still am, quite happily).
The affair fizzled out on its own when he started screwing someone else.
I didn’t care.
There was no emotional investment; we were just two adults having fun.
I will never tell my husband.
We are happy and have a great life.
Why ruin it?”
“I worked for a nationally known defense contractor.
A lady and an executive were caught having sex in the office.
Security caught them on the weekend.
She was fired, and he wasn’t.
He was an executive, and the ‘good old boys’ always stick together.
“This is going back nearly 20 years.
I was a dispatcher for a county sheriff’s department.
One of the deputies was in an open marriage, and I was single.
I was going to college and working two jobs, so I had no spare time for dating.
The secrecy and adrenaline from those forbidden activities spiced it up and kept it going for a year.
We didn’t get caught, mainly because we were very cautious.
I think back on that time and him every once in a while.
It was a lot of fun.”
“I was a witness to a workplace romance.
Woman A and Woman B were besties at work, and both were married.
It was obvious to everyone that Woman A had a major crush on the assistant manager.
Woman B knew of her crush but kept it to herself.
It turns out they were having an affair for a long time.
Woman A was so jealous she sent a company-wide email spilling the beans.
She was part of the email blast.
“Woman B’s daughter heard the news at the same time as the rest of us.
It was pretty humiliating.
“It was in the school system.
There was a male teacher who flirted with anything wearing a skirt.
Well, his wife came to the school building and shut it all down.
The wife came with a vengeance.
All the exchanges were assumed to be with female teachers who worked at the school.
It was super sad because the male teacher had children who attended the school.
Nothing ended up happening to any staff (male or female).
Likewise, the male staff member is still married to his wife and still works at the school.
But, the wife took their children out of school.”
He was sweet and very proud when his wife also got a job with the company.
They had three small children.
She was kind and very pretty.
She was quite surprised when she found out she was having twins.
Then, the new male coworker abruptly got divorced, and there were rumors he cheated.
So now his baby’s momma and ex-wife work together, AND EVERYONE KNOWS what happened there.
you could feel the tension when they are in the same room.”
They said that their pastor had suddenly resigned with no notice.
They were both asked to resign immediately by the church leadership.
Somehow, it was handled so discreetly that the church parishioners never heard what had happened.
He got a divorce and left the ministry.
She also got a divorce.
I heard that they are now married to each other and very happy.”
#1 was an emotional and physical affair that lasted almost a year.
#2 was physical, and I cut it off bc the sex wasn’t worth it.
#3 was my favorite.
I STILL think about this guy all the time.
We were work friends, we had great sex, and it didn’t interfere with work.
The whole thing was amazing.
#4 was after I broke off an engagement, and he was my rebound.
I could call him anytime I needed to be rescued.
If I could take it all back, I would, except for #3.
I would love to have another actual shot with #3.”
Well, two sons since I’ve raised her other son since he was 5.
It was the best thing that has ever happened in my life.
I am so happy and blessed to be in her life.
She completes me, and I know she feels the same."
A few seconds later, I saw a male coworker leaving the same way while zipping his pants.
Neither one of them saw me.
I never let on what I saw because I knew his wife."
“I’m still currently in this work affair relationship two years later.
We shared a lot together about our personal lives and had chemistry.
We were both pretty drunk.
I didn’t stop it either.
He apologized to me the next day and said it would never happen again.
Now we’re just friends with benefits.”
She later got pregnant, and they eventually broke up.
Her husband adopted the baby, and the baby is grown now.
I always wonder if the radiologist saw his son."
The man was known in the gossip mill to have had an ‘open relationship’ with his wife.
The female associate soon got divorced and started seriously dating around.
She eventually got pregnant and made up a very vague story about who the father was.
The child’s name even has an element of the married guy’s name.
“I had a coworkers-with-benefits situation (both of us were single, to my knowledge).
We started talking and went to a social event with some coworkers.
The first guy also went, and the next day, he asked if I was mad at him.
“I told him no, I was just talking to the second guy.
He called me and BLEW UP.
After everything we shared?'
I got off that phone call QUICKLY.
A few weeks later, the second guy ghosted me on our first date.
At least he wasn’t on the job anymore.”
“I used to work at a dealership.
A young manager who was expecting a child had just gotten promoted.
I never said anything, but they both treated me extra nicely.
One day, his pregnant wife appeared and demanded to talk to him.
I quickly ran to the manager and told him his wife was there looking for him.
I saw him with the cashier again.
I was told to stall.
I told his wife he would be right out.
Not sure if he ever got caught, but he had many close calls.”
I quickly got to know and became close with the back-of-the-house staff.
I would catch his glances throughout the day and shyly return them.
One night, I had to stay super late to close.
He and I were the only ones there at 1:00 a.m., as everyone trickled out individually.
We stood there in the parking lot and talked for a while.”
“He was 10 years older, married, had kids, and wasn’t doing great.
But he was probably the most attractive thing I had seen.
We made out in the parking lot that night.
I didn’t once think about his family or what I was doing.
I never saw or spoke to him again.”
“Two of my coworkers were secretly dating at my old school.
How’s that for karma?”
“She is still my best friend to this day and the love of my life.
We worked together for about four years at a dealership in a small town.
I was always the best friend and confidante and had my own relationships.
I was single at the time and agreed.
She had booked an Airbnb, and I didn’t realize it was a tiny home.
After a few drinks after the concert, we chatted and did our usual banter.
Things went from 0 to 200, and we did it a lot.”
One night, she asked if she could crash at my place.
The sex and the chemistry are unreal between her and me.
She’s in a great place and thriving in her life.
Maybe in another lifetime."
“I had an affair with a married man whose wife was my supervisor at a daycare.
I was drawn to him, as he was so kind and loving.
He spent the night with me, and we continued our affair off and on for five years.
He helped me discover just how beautiful I can be to other men.
We talked every night for hours.
He was an assistant fire captain and worked constantly.
So, it was easy to get away with our relationship.
He helped me ease my panic and PTSD symptoms as they pertained to men.”
The boss told me to ignore her and be a better person.
She was the boss’s favorite person.
Needless to say, my work environment was toxic.
I figured someday she would get hers.
And she has since then.
In the meantime, I continued talking to this remarkable man.
We’re still talking nearly every night.
I proceeded to move across the United States to start healing myself.
I have since blocked him.
However, I will never forget how beautiful I felt with this man.
He was what I needed at that time.
He helped me pick myself back up and hold my head high.
Do I consider myself a homewrecker?
No, his marriage was and still is his responsibility.
I cannot say I will ever regret him.
I hope he realizes what he married and stops burying his head at work."
“I was a college student and was home on a break working at a discount store.
He was the new manager, recently out of school, and flirtatious.
We would joke around with each other any time we worked the same shift.
He asked me out to dinner and eventually back to his place.
One thing led to another, and we ended up dating regularly.
He even brought a bottle of wine to my parents' house when invited for dinner.
He was quite the romantic!
Then, one day at work, a coworker told me he had a fiancee in his home state.
He never broke up with the fiancee, and I had to end the relationship.
I guess he wanted it both ways for as long as possible.
I think about him sometimes and believe I dodged a bullet.”
It started out as flirting but soon became hooking up whenever he was in town.
We even did it once during lunch in a deserted office at work.
I wasn’t in a relationship at the time.
He was, but it wasn’t serious, or so he said.
It lasted about eight months and was fun.
It gave me a vote of confidence and self-esteem that I was lacking.
We are both now married to other people.
We knew going in this was a temporary thing no drama."
“I was part of an office romance.
Things with my husband were not always great, and we had gone through some tough times.
I became really good friends with a guy I thought was everything I needed and wanted.
We shared our feelings for each other and agreed we wanted to be with each other for real.
“One night, my husband snooped through my phone and found a pic from the guy.
That was my karma.
But jokes on him because our marriage is better than ever.
“Many international schools hire teacher couples because the job is overseas.
Therefore, as students, we saw a lot.
He broke things off before it became a scandal.
This led to two divorces, and the cheating couple broke up soon after.
Couple #3: This one is cute.
We had two older teachers who were about to retire in the next five years.
One of them was divorced, and the other one was widowed.
They were set up on a blind date by someone who did not work at the school.
One thing led to another, and they got married!
They have six grandbabies; they still work at the school and will retire together next year.”
At this new job, I shared an office with a guy around my age.
Our conversations were very platonic, and we kept them professional throughout our relationship.
I said yes immediately, and we began seeing each other.
We returned to being very professional at the office and didn’t get caught for a few months.
I was so nervous I’d be fired, but our team was supportive.
The managers made a few office assignment switches under the guise of a new person starting.
Two years later, we are living together and still at the same office.
