26
Open relationship and career have collided
Post Body

I’m in a weird situation and having trouble working through the circumstances.

I (M, 32) got a new job at the end of January that I really enjoy. Unfortunately, an experience that happened within the bounds of my and my partner’s (M 26) open relationship has made things weird.

About year ago, my partner had a sexual encounter with my current boss (M, 50ish). I just found out after the two met in person and my partner came clean. I was very upset because my partner has known for several weeks that he had slept with my boss and didn’t tell me until this weekend when we had a fight about it.

This is probably the weirdest of complications of an open relationship that I never could have imagined to prepare for, and I’m struggling with coping. I just can’t get the thought of my partner and my boss fxcking in our bed.

The kicker is that I really love my job. It is sort of a dream job. And now it feels tainted. It’s been two months but I almost want to quit. Anybody dealt with this or something similar? Help.

So you just found out this weekend about your boss and your partner? In that case I would sit tight and do nothing for a while. Try not to make any big decisions in a high emotional state, let everything settle back down again and then look at the situation with a more levelled attitude.
