A married man and woman who work together spend months flirting a lot – there’s a lot of staring (even in front of both spouses), smiling, getting embarrassed in front of each other, comments, touching,etc. The woman gets pregnant, and so does the guy’s wife. The flirting has not stopped with either pregnancy.
He occasionally stops her to ask how she’s doing with the pregnancy, share his experiences (he already has another child), etc. One day, she’s walking by his office and he stops her again – then he asks if she’s been “getting emotional†and starts to complain about his wife; how he gets yelled at for giving suggestions and trying to help, then again when he’s silent, so he can’t win… He then says “You’re always so together; I’ve never seen you lose your temper, are you like that at home too?†and she tells him that she’s just been crying a lot, but she doesn’t get like that… He then says “I’ve told her (wife), “Woman’s name†isn’t like this at all!â€Â, to which his wife replied “I’ll bet she yells at her husband too…â€Â. The man again stresses how “even-keeled†and calm and collected the woman is, and praises her for it.
The woman asks how he feels about getting yelled at – does he handle it or get upset?? He says he does both, but sometimes he does get upset… She shares that her husband does the same too, even when she’s just crying…
What is the man trying to do?
