I've posted before on behalf of this friend but I'm feelling especially bad for her today. It's making me sad that she is in what imo is denial
My friend's fiance (been together 6 years) is attracted to a woman at work. He's admitted it and that he's had a physical reaction to her before. I have no idea about the woman, other than he thinks she finds him attractive too but as he's taken, isn't going to act on it either. My friend's partner does definitely love her and their dc but I think she's in denial that this woman isn't a threat.
If I thought someone I worked with was attaracted to me then I would do what I could to avoid them. Friend's fiance is now working even closer with this woman than before where he now is directly above her when that wasn't the situation last month. Friend says he is treating her as he would anyone, but I've said he hasn't mentioned he's attracted to any one else. He's all for honesty...I said I don't think little chats about the book she's reading or bands they both like are appropriate, considering he's attracted to her
I've not been this harsh with my friend, but I really do think she's in denial that the attraction to someone else is a threat but maybe I'm just projecting...when is an attraction too much/a threat?
