  Just an afterthought to my earlier post.
  What you found and what I found are different. What I found left no question; what you've found is suspect at best but not "evidence" of anything. But I do agree with the opinion of talking to her 'bout it.
  I was not in a marriage with kids. I could walk away fairly easily without familial or financial ramifications.
  I did feel guilty about prying into my ex's email and I did apologive for it. It was an intrusion. She actually didn't seem to have issue with that fact though,...

  VOYEURS OF PHILOSOPHICAL DOOM

  my boomer generation was reared in front of a tee-vee set.

  our view of life on planet earth (not to mention elsewhere) is framed inside a rectangle of voyeurism.

  movies consisted of a larger rectangle with better sound and cushier seats.

  Sorry to hear that news. Cuts like a knife.

  For what it's worth, I've been in that situation, albeit not married or with kids. Still hurts to find out information that points to something "on the side". I won't go into detail but in my case, my girlfriend at the time was continuing to court the attentions of a "former" lover. Much like you, I followed my instincts and discovered a trail of email which left no room for doubt. Love letters, hot pics, "when are you in town next?", etc.

  I confronted her the next day on it. I held court and represented myself rather well as i recall. The questions i asked were indirect as to allow for an explanation of any such mysterious "exchanges" of email (perhaps admission or confession would be better choices actually) and I gradually inferred that I knew. She denied that any such email exchanges happened even when I asked her point blank. I knew at that point that I couldn't trust her anymore. And the thing is at the time, I felt that if she would've told me the truth about it intead of lying and still trying to cover it up, I could've forgiven whatever it was. Maybe not,...lol.

  Don't know what else to say really. Enough good advice has been offered already. Just sharing the pain, bro ;-)

  How do you get over a crush?

  by lonelysheep in

  how do you tell your heart to not give a bleep anymore???

  what can you do to shut it off completely, i mean, for more than a week?

  eyes are hard to control sometimes, as are hands to type with.

  A bit hesitant as this does seem like unfamiliar territory and I am merely male,....

  However, a couple observations and perhaps a point if I may. To me, a crush is an unrequited, one sided infatuation that is not really rooted on who a person is but more on who they're idealized as in the mind of the "crusher". The "crushee" may or may not be oblivious to it but it seems to be more about putting someone on a pedastal as opposed to a mutual expression of interest, or at least involvement. Personally I use the the word "thing" but your mileage may vary.

  The general consensus here seems to be that a crush is a bad thing that must be denied and forgotten about as if it were a bad relationship. It isn't even that (at least from what I've gathered) and in reality, nothing bad has been said about the "crushee" here in particular. Why deny an obvious attraction? Do we pick the ones that attract us? Is a power thing? Is it fear of vulnerability? In reality, i have no idea what the crush thing is like for women but I guesstimate I may be close to it if I take my "worst" infatuation and crank it up a few notches. I can think of a few "crushees" that I've known where I was just too scared to risk and I look back and think damn, i'll never know what that could've been. Not a regret per se but rather contemplative reflection. Anyways, my point here is that now, I take the chance and find out. No only lasts a few hours and then it's gone and you feel rather free afterwards. Yes is infinitely more complicated and also possibly just as rewarding. The not knowing is the worst part for me.

  That all being said, the real bummer here is that the object of affection is a coworker. Bad news right there, or at least that's been my experience and one I learned from. I wouldn't say don't go for it but just be aware of what the fallout might be. It could be costly and not just emotionally.

  The only thing I could offer as advice is to not do anything impulsive, take it day by day and listen to your friends. Lots of advice worth more than I would ever know,....:-)

  Just my two cents
