Sexcetera: I Had An Affair
We Work Together. What Should I Do?
By MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES
Q: A woman I've known for several years and I were working together on a volunteer project. One night, we wound up in bed together. We are both happily married, and we both felt terrible afterward. I left quickly. We've talked on the phone since, and she's acted like nothing happened. For some reason, I dread seeing her again. My wife and I socialize with her and her husband from time to time, and I live in fear that we will have to get together with them. What should I do?
Mia: Avoid her permanently? It sounds like she's not going to bring it up, and neither of you wants to end your marriages, so I'd draw a veil over the whole thing.
Steve: Well, next time you're with them you could drink a lot. That way nothing could possibly slip out, right? Look, just chill. It happened, it was wrong, you both understand that. Time to move on and forget it. Steve (not his real name) is 50-something and has been married to his second wife for 20 years.
Mia (not her real name) is a 20-something single immersed in the Center City dating scene. If you want answers to your romantic troubles, e-mail them at S&M@phillynews.com or write: S&M, c/o Daily News, Box 7788, Philadelphia, Pa. 19101.
