I can tell he has a crush on me (gut instinct). We are obsessed with emailing each other, but nothing inappropriate is said in the emails, except we call each other nicknames (big deal) and joke around a bit. The emails are mainly about politics as we’re really into the campaign. In my opinion, if his wife saw the emails, she wouldn’t think anything was wrong with them. However, he emails me within seconds and sometimes often, even at home. I don’t know if his wife would approve of that? He has asked me to lunch in those emails, too. If I was the wife, I would have to say I would be jealous, as I’m a jealous person, but if the emails aren’t inappropriate, what is the harm? She knows I’m his coworker, as we briefly met once. She didn’t act like she knew we were friends and he only introduced me as his coworker.

    Oh yes, she will be mad. I would be mad, personally. Even if I knew you were a coworker. That doesn’t matter. You are still a woman. And within seconds, yeah I would totally be mad.

    You should stop playing this game immediately. If you want to flirt, find a single man to flirt with.

  3. KC Says:

    If you know he likes you then you need to stop. If you dont feel the same you are leading him on. If you do feel the same you need to find a man who isnt married to email.

    Obviously, there IS something inappropriate going on. If there weren’t you wouldn’t feel the need to ask this question. Ask yourself how YOU would feel if you were his wife. You have the answer already.

    i would definitely be jealous, i don’t even approve of my husband taking female coworkers to lunch unless i know they are older than him and ugly and not his type

    You yourself are aware that it’s flirtatious and a little too enthusiastic for a mere friendship. Letting that continue already crosses a line, you don’t have to crawl under his desk to be doing something wrong.

    i doubt if his wife would be okay with this, because he is using time that belongs to her, focusing it on u.if my husband was doing this i would not feel comfortable.

    You know best exactly what the relationship between you and this guy is like, and if you think you would be upset, the right thing to do would be to try to simmer it back. Whether you do or not is your choice, but that’s one way to look at it.

    Put an end to it.

    I have been married for several years and often email with male co workers and friends who are married men. It is all on the up and up. My husband also has friends that are female the only problem I ever had is he once told a female friend about my”toy” collection. But we talked about it and we have no problems. Maybe you should ask him if his wife has a problem with it. Sometimes luch just means lunch.

  14. CK Says:

    Don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill. Stop reading something into the situation that’s not really there You are just his co-worker.He must love his wife he is there with her, As you stated you are just emailing back and fourth.

    Megtc took the words right out of my mouth!

    Well put yourself in her shoes. Would you like your husband emailing his co worker he’s spends most of the with while apart from his wife?, I don’t think it’s okay. If you want to ease a little stress at the work place then it’ll be okay to joke a little, but once it goes out of work and into the home, you nor him should think about work while your not at work. I personally think it’s disrespectful. Don’t dig yourself a hole you can’t climb out of.

  17. E.M. Says:

    The question is how would you feel as a jealous woman if the shoe was on the other foot.

    You know yourself, this could lead to something that should never happen.

  18. India Says:

    If you wouldn’t want some woman doing this to your marriage, why is it ok to do it to hers? Stop it. Get a man who is available.

  19. Julie G Says:

    Yes, his wife would be mad. If you can tell he has a crush on you, then why are you emailing him. Your leading him on and giving him the vibes that your okay with the situation. Find a single guy to email and leave the married one alone.
