How should I react to a cheating boss?

Question

Recently i joined a firm as an intern and my boss really impressed me since he was cute and funny, and he gave me a lot of importance. I was on cloud nine, i was flattered and i really began to look up to him. Then he made moves as though he was interested in me, and though i thankfully did not do anything stupid, i found out 2 weeks later that he was already married, a fact that he had kept hidden. I found an old wedding card addressed to him and his wife. i felt betrayed and hurt, and i still have days to spend working there, and most of the other employees knew about the entire scene. How do i react during the rest of my days? And how do i get over feeling really really hurt?

Answer 1

Remember the old saying "Don't dip your pen in the company ink".  It turns into disaster.  Luckily you didn't do anything stupid.  The other employees should have told you he was married instead of sitting around watching what was going on.  Maybe they don't think what you think they're thinking.  They probably know your boss is a womanizer and that's probably what he does all the time.  Just keep your head up the next few days until it's over.  

Answer 2

Well before you tell his wife, do you get any review or does he need to sign off on anything that has to do with your internship? He might treat you unfairly if you rat him out.  And honestly, is it really hard to get over any feelings you had for a lying sack of sh*t? And would it really make you feel better to  make his wife feel bad? I would spend the next few days pondering that and avoiding him.

Answer 3

Did you f**k him? I bet if you do you'll get a big raise.

Answer 4

I don't understand why you are hurt? Do you feel bad because he was making the moves on you while he is  married or are you hurt because you were wanting more? Just thank God you found out in time. That's a lesson for you. Just keep relationship with your bosses "professional". No matter how friendly they may come off.

Answer 5

Pretend this never happened and move forward. Finish your internship on a professional note and don't get distracted by your boss or the drama that may surface.  

Answer 6

Just stay at a professional distance.  Extramarital affairs are complicated situations.  You're a smart woman who has a bright,solid future.  You deserve to be with a single, decent working man.

Answer 7

Honestly, I would tell his wife! She deserves so much better and he is scum!! It will be hard to get through the next few days and if you can not go to the labour board and tell them about what he did. If you stick it out let him know what he did was wrong him being a married man and let him know you did not appreciate it one bit.  

Answer 8

Just deal with it... you didn't do anything stupid, so don't worry.  If you did, other employees would think badly of you, but because you didn't, it's no big deal.  And I am sure they know what their boss is like already, so they probably respect you more for not doing anything.

Answer 9

I would just let it go. I think you were led on by him and now you are mad. Just be glad you found out and let it go. You haven't done anything wrong, and the other employees know that too. What a dog.
