OH had an affair with a member of staff. Can he fire her?

[RealCoralQuail]

My OH recently had an affair with a member of staff ie someone he employed. She works in a very close environment where they can’t easily escape each other. What can be done, legally? I’m in pieces every time he leaves for work. Can he sack her? Could I dismiss her if I became a director?

I can't believe this hasn't been deleted yet.

‘My OH recently had an affair with someone he employed’.

Honestly, just keep reading that sentence until you realise who has destroyed your marriage.

I’ll give you a clue, if it wasn’t this lady your husband cheated with, it would be someone else.

I’m so sorry you’re in this situation, but you need to wake up and smell the coffee. He probably justified it to OW telling her how terrible your marriage was, how he wants to leave you, and how you never have sex. He’s of course probably the victim in all of this…

If he’s serious about cutting ties with the ow and salvaging his marriage he should be leaving for a new job, not trying to illegally sack her.

Do you not think dumping the fucker would be a tad more logical OP?

Womens solidarity going strong I see

Sorry but why are you trying to get rid of her and not him? Getting her out of the way won't stop the fact that you're with a man who thinks it's okay to cheat on you. That should be what you're thinking about right now.

You will never, ever be able to trust him again. This woman is not the only one he will ever be in close proximity with.

Even if you got rid of this one, you're going to have to get rid of the next one, and so on and so forth. Better to get rid of him.

lol.

You mean solidarity with the woman potentially losing her job because a man couldn't keep his dick under control.
Yup.

You want to sack the woman he slept with? Listen, I get that you're hurting and I totally understand that. But you can't sack her for that. You can, however, and should, sack your husband.

Solidarity with both women, who have been fucked over by the same man? Yep.

If he did sack her, he'd be creating a vacancy ie a new hot woman to work along side to take his mind off the monotony of marriage.

Why should she lose her job because you have shite taste in men?!

Well done OP - Peak MN achieved.

Do you even work for the company or just planning on getting a job there and jumping straight to director just so you can have the pleasure of sacking her?

Your anger is misplaced. This woman shouldn’t have to lose her job. I think you need to be more focused on your cheating husband.

The mental gymnastics is staggering on this one!

I get it op, it's a shock and right now you'll do anything to keep your life the same as it has always been.

But there's only so long you can hold on to it all, you're going to have to face reality sooner or later.

Surely there must be HR who should be dealing with this issue.

In the industry that I work, both employees would be fired for gross misconduct.

I suspect this post might not be genuine.

It sounds absurd what OP is suggesting.

I’m guessing if he sacks her, she can take him to tribunal given they had an affair in the past.
in all honesty, are you sure he won’t just do it again with another employee . Think carefully about who you should be directing your anger at

People have been known to loose their jobs when they have lost their reputation. Perhaps your husband and this woman will give the company a bad name.

it will just make room for the next woman to fall for his ‘charms’ you are looking at this all wrong i’m afraid… He is the problem!!

sure.

He can’t fire her but he can pay her off and get her to sign an NDA.

Men like that would put their dick in anything

It sounds like it’s his company…what the husband employing the OW and OP considering becoming a director 🙄

Hardly going to sack himself is he!
