Mixing Business and Pleasure

Cloud 9A 35-year old woman, happy and in love!
I began working in my current job 3 years ago and a strong attraction soon grew between my boss and me. We both tried very hard to fight it, knowing that it would certainly be viewed as inappropriate for him to be romantically involved with a member of his staff and also simply because if a personal relationship didnât work it could ruin our professional relationship.
We continued working together and kept coming together and then pulling away, neither of us quite willing to take the chance. It created a lot of hurt feelings and doubt for both of us but I couldnât forget him or give up hope. I kept feeling as though this was meant to be but I just didnât know how to make it work.
Friends that knew about it suggested asking for a transfer to another office but that just didnât happen where I worked. An open position had to be posted, people applied, candidates were interviewed and an offer made to the successful applicant. It felt hopeless.
I decided in the late spring of 2012 to ask the Universe for a way for us to be together and over the summer, something amazing happened. He came forward and shared his true feelings for me. He told me he was in love with me and that he just wanted to throw it all on the table and let whatever happens happen. He still didnât know how to make it work but a way was soon given to us.
In late July, an opportunity became available for me to transfer to another office! I was stunned. This never happened where I worked. Things were unfolding for us. I wrote a letter requesting the transfer and it was approved. I transfer offices at the end of the year and now my boss and I can comfortably move forward and explore a relationship. We are so happy, grateful, and in love.
Nothing is impossible. Believe.
