New relationship with colleague. He has historically flirted with another colleague, they worked closely together and would do things like go shopping to by decor for the office, put up posters about their in jokes, work together at weekends, comments from other people about how he liked heeled. Fast forward 9 months she’s seeing someone and we hook up. So past is fine. He was wfh for 6 months. She has breakdown and wants him back in the office, has time off with stress, when comes back he goes in and counsels her outcome she will only work for him and at times when he is, will wfh the rest of the time.

What would you think.

I would think it's odd why he allows her to be so dependent on him, he should be thinking about his own work not just to fit around her. Probably a bit too close for my liking given the history of them, you either trust him or you don't, life's too short to waste your time on too much wondering.

  • liked her that should be not heeled

Sounds as if she has a crush on him and he’s doing nothing to discourage her.

Bizarre, that he has so much loyalty to her and that he is being so flexible purely for her needs. Could just be friends but with history if flirting I would be very cautious

Yeah it’s kind of killed it for me. Feels really hurtful though but at least I found out early

I wouldn’t bother with him to be honest. I’d feel second choice

Kellyagain · 21/03/2022 21:55

Yeah I left him over it he said he’d cried for the first time in ten years. Then we talk about it today and he denies he ever liked her then said what difference would it make if I had? What a ridiculous thing to say! I mean it obviously informs how things are between them
