I know 6 kids between us! Yikes! But I'm not talking marriage or even living together. I just need to get out with adults sometimes. As far as work, I only work part-time and it is his part-time job too. The only time we're both there is Friday nights and like I said in a whole year I've been there I've never worked in the same home as him. See we work at a facility taking care of mentally handicapped and there's usually only 2 staff in each home and we've never been in the same one. So if it didn't work it wouldn't be weird there. Actually my husband(estranged) also works there in a different unit.

The thing I find annoying about the *relationships at work* comment is that - where the hell are you supposed to meet people these days? If there's something really special about to happen, you may as well see what's up. If it all goes tit's up, well that's life. You live and learn.

You do have to be somewhat careful, though. My son's friend works at a bank. He and a co-worker got involved for a while, then it ended. She became vindictive, acused him of sexual harrassment and almost ruined his career. So you do need to be aware that things can get, if not just uncomfortable, downright nasty.

Don't want to live in fear luna. What's the point? If life is worth living, it's worth taking risks. Those downright nasty people are only attracted to certain kinds anyway.

Honesty
One of my cousins was going through a divorce. He met a girl at work who was going through a divorce. They 'hooked up' and got married.
Fast forward 25 years. They're still married and happy.
BTW, they never fell in the WTBTS trap.

True enough. I am overly cautious about too many things, especially relationships.
Honesty, that's a lovely story. I love happy ever afters. ::sigh::

This sounds like a winning situation, since you obviously love kids. Two more, and you'll have the makings of a TV show.

I had a torrid affair with my boss one time. We were both in transitional stages of life and there was no future, but the journey was sweet and well worth taking.
I say, fill yourself up, don't look to another to do so and don't hook up with people who are expecting to be completed by you. If you're both grown ups about it, it could be oh so sweet and worth it, even if it is not a forever kind of thing (and who knows?). The more you fight it, the more you will desire--go with it.

I haven't read all the replys but here's my two cents worth:
You're going through a divorce, he's going through a divorce. You're both in emotional turmoil. It's probably both of yours first "fling" since the breakup of your respective marriages.
It's not him you're so much infatuated with as it is the thought of having the freedom to be attracted to him. The same with him.
If you wanna have some fun and get it on...fine, but if you're thinking of him as Mr. Brady to your Mrs. Brady, I think that's a mistake. You need to let the divorces go through, find yourself, rediscover some of your interests and take things very slow for awhile. Don't rush from one bad marriage to potentially another one. If it is right, if he is your soul mate, then time will not make a difference. Once your both over the divorce and settled down some, if the attraction is still there, then pursue it.

Don't stick your dink in the company ink
....oh wait, you're a woman. Ummmmm..... Don't date your co-workers. If the two of you should split up, then you have to deal with seeing that person every day while trying to get over them. It's best to just avoid dating a co-worker... unless you're at a temp job.
