Strategy for interacting with LO who is my (gasp) boss

“Before I do anything I ask myself, 'Would an idiot do that?' And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.” -Dwight Schrute To accomplish this worthy goal, I started pretending that his wife is standing next to him at all times. Would I make that snarky comment if Mrs Boss was there? Would I accidentally brush his arm or stand too close to him? Would I over share personal things? I have remained professional these agonizing two years, but as we have developed a good friendship there’s more temptation to push it and see what he does. But that is what an idiot would do, so I do not do that thing. Picturing her giving me a knowing look and a cold stare shames me and sobers me up right quick. This is crazy. It is morally reprehensible to me to be a party to infidelity. I would harshly judge any guy who cheated on his wife. But somehow here I am having to talk myself off the ledge every day. Limerence is a dreadful affliction.
