So cut a long story short this makes me feel terrible, iv been with my dp 6 years we have a 2 year old dd, I went back to work fill time and have ended up getting on very well a male I work with, everyone thought we was having it off together which we haven't but normal work gossip we just laughed about it how ever yesterday when I was talking to him he said sum thing and I said it's because u love me really and laughed and he said yes that's the problem? [Hmm] anyway he then went on saying that he was going out for a meal Saturday with some people we work with and one of the girls like him and her flat mate is trying to get him stay at theirs and said x wants them to sleep together now why am I bothered about this? It's always been a friendship but after he said that I just felt shit u can't sleep with her. Now I'm freaked I'm bothered. Dp and me are fine we get on really well and I do love him and wouldn't dram of cheating on him but why am I so bothered about x and this bloke? I feel terrible

I think the expression is 'grow up'. Flirting at work overtly enough for others to assume you're sleeping together is immature and unprofessional. If you feel bad about him going out with a girlfriend it's because you feel some kind of ownership.... you're jealous.

its not immature or unprofessional, it because we are friends and the environment I work in male and females cant be good friends with out sumthing going on, so ur saying you see two people getting along and having a laugh u think its immature? so men and women cant be good friends and have a lugh together?? that's what ur saying?

Yes they can be friends but friends don't usually have jealousy issues around their friends other relationships.
If you are already being gossiped about at work them you need to get some distance - even if it just gossip it doesn't make either of you look good.
As Cog says above, bit of growing up needed I think

You're not 'having a laugh', you're flirting with each other and behaving inappropriately. Do the people you work with accuse every man and woman who are friends of sleeping together? Doubt it.

Would you be worried about your DP finding out about this? Would you be hurt if you found out that your DP was in the same situation with someone he worked with?

If the answer to both of these questions is yes, then you need to get some distance and space away from this situation as you have become a little bit too emotionally involved with this person...

Is there something in your relationship with DP which isn't working at the moment? Usually when people find themselves in this type of situation it is because something isn't working out in their existing relationship...

Good luck with everything.
