Dear Jasmine,
I found out that my boss is cheating on his wife. I don’t know his wife that well but I do see her sometimes when she stops by the office or at other job related functions. Lately we have even gotten lunch together and seem to have a much friendlier relationship. I am torn because I feel so guilty that I know my boss is cheating on her. I don’t want to lose her friendship or my job and I don’t know what I should do.

Dear Beth,
These types of things are never easy but for your sake I think you need to mind your own business. If she asks you point blank and you don’t want to lie, then you will risk losing your job. If you lie to her, then you risk losing a friend if she finds out that you knew this whole time and never told her. Did you ever think she could be befriending you to find out information about her husbands whereabouts? She may already think he is cheating and trying to find out.
I would encourage you not to maintain such a close relationship with her because it could create a lot of drama if everything unfolds. Sometimes it is just better to keep your work and your personal life separate.
Always here,
Jasmine
