Wait... is the co-worker saying that someone is madly in love with your GF? Or that the manager is in love with the co-worker??

She was clued in by a co-worker but having met the guy and just in listening to GFU talk about him and their interactions, I can believe it....that and she told me that when i came in to the store on the weekend to say hi to her, he was there and after i left he too took off and "avoided" GFU for the rest of the day.

Normally i'd not be concerned as it's not the first time she's had guys interested in her naturually. What kind of alarmed me though was that this is the first time it's occured with a person she really likes and has alot in common with. I shouldn't be insecure i suppose and i'm not the jelous(tm) type....but still....i'm almost wishing she hadn't told me. GFU has readily admited that had i come to her with a similar situation, she'd be "freaking out and sharpening the kitchen accessories"

It also touches a nerve in me because it presents a situation similar to what occured in my family many moons ago.

Trust isn't easy and there are no guarantees. If I were you, I'd make her a nice dinner, flowers, and have a ring show up mysteriously on her plate.

I would be surprised if the majority of these type of situations did not occur with people we like and get along well with. Years ago in MN, I had a huge crush on a coworker. We got along great and always had fun around each other, but she also had a "long term fiancee." I eventually mentioned my crush to her, and we actually talked through it and worked it out and remained friends. It doesn't have to be the end of the world if both parties can deal with it, but honestly, I think we were lucky to manage keeping up our friendship.

If something like that happened today, my wife would not have to waste time sharpening knives. She always has surgical scalpels at hand.

Morning dudes.

Comrade red mouse:  I had a Blockbuster gift card from two years ago that I hadn't used.  I've been following the company's downward financial spiral somewhat as an impartial observer.  They will probably be 'reorganizing' again before too long. 

Anyways, I wanted to make sure I used my gift card before it became worthless, so I went in and scoured their "DVDs for sale" bin.  Some decent titles at 4 for $20, so I got 4xDVDs.  One of them was "Eastern Promises"-came out two years ago.  Got good reviews, IIRC.  Did you see this movie?  Thoughts on authenticity / plausibility?

Yes....definately different flavours....and as mentioned by wise persons....no guaurentees. My dad's marriage lasted 17 years before an "office rommance" ended it. GF and i have made it to 8 years. We are both not deep into the marriage thing and both us of are against making copies of each other.

We did talk about it and i was honest in that i was not suprised given the info i had gleaned. She gave me a few quizzical looks on a couple comments i made in response to the future but like you'all said....ultimately there has to be trust....and like i told her....it's not like she can quit her job, or like i'm gonna start following her around in suspicion and distrust.

One has to trust in the end.....but part of me still wishes she hadn't said anything as one is left with an unsettled feeling. It's like the time a former roommate made a pass on me and i (as it turns out wisely) declined to mention it to the GFU until AFTER the roommate was history. Sometimes things are better left unsaid.

As Hall and Oats once said (musically):

I feel like I could run away
Looking at a darker day
Oh I'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
It's true the moody manners come and go
And it's better that you never know

Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

I apologize for all the fat jokes, and I hope you'll accept that and un-green-button me. It went on to the point where it wasn't funny any more. Sorry.

Will one of you please quote this post so he can see it?
