So, I've wrote a thread of my previous client that sacked me through text.

The company had to reduce costs and me as a consultant had to go first.

It's just the way they handled it... it was 'unconventional'.

 

Anyway, I didn't leave on an entirely bad note.

After one year, I meet some great people there.

Sure it was a crappy project, but I had some nice moments and learnt a lot.

 

Now, after being at my new project for 6 months already, a former co-worker with whom I had a great work relationship with, contacts me through FB.

He added me some months earlier, well he added me the moment I left the project.

 

His intents were always 'dubious'. We laughed a lot, had some difficult moments due to the stress of the project, but he always was 'there for me'.

He encouraged me, brought me chocolates to brighten my day, or 'honey' he brought me from his holidays to prevent me to be sick.

 

I saw him as a 'mentor'. He is 10 years older than me, is married, has kids.

One day he joked that he would leave his wife and that I would take his place. Or that we make a perfect work 'couple'. Or that rumours had started about 'us'.

 

Anyway, I didn't see much to it, it was just playful banter. I think.

Until he posted me a private message on FB about some kind of movie that's coming out...

That's how it starts eh ... ?

He's married with kids. Ignore!

He's just an old married horndog. Block him. No good could possibly come from any alliance with him.

Uhu. I'll keep that in mind when I feel lonely and want company.

Yup, that's how it starts. What are your feelings toward him? Anything romantic?

He's not physically attractive. He's little, bald and tubby.

But he's very kind, comprehensive, humourous, he's got character.

We have common interests, get along very well.

We were a 'good professional match' he said.

 

There was maybe a time when I could have felt something 'romantic'.

But when you work(ed) together and know he has a family, it's normal not to let anything further develop...

 

But deep-down, having a relationship with him ? Mmm ...

I don't want to be a home-wrecker ...
