Advice needed, considering affair with boss

Default profile image
So...I've been working with my boss for about 2 months. We get along really well, flirt a little bit and probably spend too much time together. There is an age gap(I'm32 he's 45 and we are both married (although I'm separated and he's is geographically separate due to work right now) We have been out a few times with others drinking and nothing has happened .but a few night's ago we had a work outing and we both got really drunk. We flirted all night andI ended up in his hotel room. I knew what I was doing was wrong Nd I was playing with fire but I couldnt help it. Nothing really happened but we ended up under the covers in his bed (fully clothed) and he fell asleep (straight away as he was drunker than me and it was really late) after awhile I cuddled ip next to him and he didn't wake up, I put my arms around him and realizing Iwas at crossroads and I could wake him up and hit on him or I could wait and see what happens. . So he didn't wake up. At one point he rolled over and I think might have woken up and didn't move my arms but also didn't try and take it any further, i decided to slip out of his room in the middle of the night. Now I have some issues. I feel like given we were both drunk and lying.on his bed if he wanted something to happen it would have. Should I take him not making a move as rejection? Should I try again or do you think things wouldn't have even got that far unless he was keen? The other thing is I don't know if he will even remember. We haven't spoken since and I'm not sure how to act tomorrow at work. . Any advice?

If the man's married, you will be the one who will get hurt the most, emotionally and probably without a career. This man's actions also speak and should give a heads up that he's basically no good as a boss and as a person. Rejection?..be thankful that nothing happened. In your post, you have quoted half an old saying, "when you play with fire...". If you know what you did was wrong, then be true to yourself...and don't blame the alcohol because it's NEVER an excuse.

You may be separated BUT HE is not. You are heading for disaster if you still decide to pursue him. If you continue with the 'flirting', drunk nights which may lead to sexual intimacy, then also start preparing yourself for 'heart break', feeling used and looking for another job.
