Is he trying to gain her sympathy, or is this harmless?

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!”, to which his wife replied “I’ll bet she yells at her husband too…”. 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?

  1. he is treading on dangerous grounds, comparing his wife to another woman and even telling the other woman how, basically, he admires her. Each spouse should support their own wife and leave the other alone.  This guy sounds like a pig who won't be there for his wife or kid after it is born but instead chasing someone/something else with the mistaken notion that the grass is greener on the other side.  NEWSFLASH  it's NOT!! Are you going to destroy two families because of it?!


  2. Why do you have this question on here twice under different headings?

  3. he flirts too much......

    but at the moment he is trying to gain insight as to how to respond to his emotional wife.

  4. This guy is an idiot...the woman needs to put up her alert flag and run away!!!  It sounds as though he has been trying to use this woman as an excuse for ending a marriage he is not happy with. A little flirting is harmless, but when you start sharing emotions, there is an issue.

    Run away....

  5. What are you doing with a Married Man???

  6. Vent, compliment, and possibly hook up some pregnant strange.
