My co-worker is starting to cheat with his wife online.

I was early this morning and I over-heard a yahoo messenger conversation with my co-worker (whose cubicle is beside mine). We were the only ones there and I think he didn't hear me coming. I heard him talking to this girl who was separated with her husband and they were flirting. The mood changed when my partner called me on the phone. He instantly said that he needed to do something and would call her after. What bothered me was the fact that he mentioned that he's separated when we all know that he isn't. I have noticed him chatting these past few weeks but never thought much until I heard him talking to her online. If you were in my shoes, what would you do? He's quite older than me and I know it's none of my business. I don't know his wife personally. I've overheard that he'd like to meet her since he's going to her city next week. It just bothers me that people do these things. Thanks in advance for the responses.

laydee The fact you asked is indicative that you would maybe like to do something..right? I am with you ..I would love to confront the man and I would like to tell him off. However, that is probably not a good idea since you work together and there could be reprocussions..while I sympatize with the wife, unfortunately in the world today, we can't always stand up for what we belive anywhere any time... Also sometimes we can misinterpret things if we only hear part of the conversation and though you might feel you know exactly what the situation is, it could be there is more to it than you know. Still..as I said, if what yiu heard was true, I would love to smack the guy

I think the wife already did! (smack the guy). He stopped coming to the office earlier than the call time. I no longer heard him talking to people on yahoo whenever I come in later than him. I guess the wife found out and he was "grounded". Hehehehe.. Well, I don't really know what's happening in his life right now, but I guess I just don't like hearing people cheat (who does?). Thanks for sharing, have a great mylot experience ahead!

I just want to tel you my side of that experience. I work with a group with all boys and I must say it happen a lot. Our job requires us to interface with other company and there are times wherein they invite us to go with them for a drink, they're treat ofcourse. So in those cases, the place is usually on bars or night clubs. Then that is the time when they are making they're mistakes. By getting a girl with their table then eventually making love with the girls which they're not supposed to do for they are already married. Fortunately, I'm still in control not to join them on that kind of activities. On your case, I think it's better not to be involved in it because you might ruin a relationship that no one knows the strength. Just let them discover each other's mistake and solve their own problem. That would be the safest thing to do.

I know what you mean, and yeah, I will not get involved. I just find it amusing that he's trying so hard to pick up women. I catch him looking at different women's photos whenever I pass by his cubicle (the water dispenser is closer to his side). Well, I guess men are men. I just pity the wives. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

How sad. I don't think there is anything you can do about it, though. If you don't know any of the people involved, you can't really say anything to them.

I am not all for these kind of stuffs, and well though i oppose the situation and the action of this officemate of mine. However since we are not that close, i am not in the position to tell this person how i feel about what he or she is doing. It is totally not my business to try and tell them what they are supposed to do. Perhaps i would think twice before i put on some action to this - whatever it is that is bothering me about the situation because i am simply just an outsider for the particular issue.
