Married man & I email each other all day about politics, is this okay?
We email about other stuff too & he seems a bit too excited to hear from me, whether he is at work or at home when he emails me. He asked me to lunch before, too, but I declined. We work together. Is there anything wrong with us continuing the emails, given we both love the campaign so much or is this wrong?
I don’t see anything wrong with emailing as friends as long as it stays that way. I think you were right to decline the lunch invitation because although it may have been offered out of friendship, there may also have been other motives behind it and you were smart to turn him down.
NOthing wrong
It’s absolutely perfectly fine.
Why shouldn’t he be happy to hear from you? Friends like hearing from one another – it’s no big deal unless you make it one. Oh and about lunch, married people eat too. It’s hardly a date.
Of course it is wrong. Dont wriight, say, or email anything you would not say,do or share in front of your husband. He’s already asked you to dinner! Im guessing you didnt answer that you would have to check with your husband first? geeeeeesh
Is this really worth throwing away your marrage? Put yourself in his shoes for just a second….. think about what it would make you feel like if you found out your hubby was doing this with another woman????? The shoes a little tighter on the other foot eh?
Conflict of interest if you work together. Fraternizing has consequences.
Many times people get intrigued when they find a friend with similar interests. If your interest is primarily in current events and maintaining a platonic friendship no matter the amount of contact, then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Apparently you aren’t married? Only you could know if there’s more simmering undercurrents than you’ve admitted, then there could be problems. My benchmark would be if you had a spouse and he knew would he not be upset, and would you be totally upfront about it with him? If you can answer yes to both you’re all set.Lunch with a friend isn’t cheating. A romantic dinner date would be esp if it’s on the sly. I’m sure you can gauge a man’s interest in you as most women have a profound ability to sense even the slightest sexual interest.
