In today's Ask Amy, a nanny considers leaving her job after falling for her married boss.
Dear Amy: I met “Ben” the first day I began working for his family as a nanny about a year ago. I felt an instant attraction, but quickly let it go because he’s married, my boss, and I was married at the time. We had minimal interaction, so that helped, too.
Not being able to act on my feelings is getting so difficult for me that I am considering getting a new job. I am torn. Ultimately I am wondering, how do I keep my job and get over the heartbreak of liking someone who is unavailable?Dear Heartbroken: I’ll start by affirming the strength of your emotions and your curiosity about whether your feelings are reciprocated.
You should not remain in this household. Get another position. Within two weeks of leaving, your ardor will die down, you will start to realize how close you flew to the flame, and you will be justifiably proud that you did the right thing – or rather, that you did not do the wrong thing. Anyone can state that they are separated, and someone looking for a no-strings-fling might be attracted to someone they perceive as unavailable.
