So now that I've confirmed I can remain completely anonymous...
We went to my husband's holiday party this weekend. It was at his bosses house, which is pretty big. Late into the party we each got separated (after admittedly too many drinks) and the next thing I know my husband's boss and his wife are showing me around the house. Then she disappears, I don't remember how or where, and then I'm talking to him for a while in the guest bedroom.
He starts telling me how troubled he is about the economy, and then it leads to stress about his business, which leads to stress about his marriage. He starts to cry a little. I give him a hug (which I should NOT have done) and the next thing I know is he plants one on me.
I pushed him away and kind of laughed it off. I was really caught off guard. We just went back to the party separately and then a bit later my husband and I left.
I just had to vent about this. I think the guy was under stress + too many drinks + plus my bad judgment of being alone in this situation. I'm thinking that I just use this as my moment to get it off my chest and never mention it again.
Does anybody think I should tell my husband?
You were drunk, and according to 'the rules', it didn't count. ;)
Seriously, this really isn't that big of a deal. You're an adult, your husband is an adult, and you both know where you stand with one another, so who really cares?
I would pretend it didn't happen and forget about it. If it gets brought up then deal with it appropriately. After all, you were drunk, so claiming you don't remember isn't too far fetched.

You should tell your husband asap! If you feel guilty, then maybe this situation sparked some innapproprate feelings.
As secret loses its power the moment you share it.

First, Don't even think that it's your fault because you found yourself in a room alone with him. You were with his wife and she took off -- that's not your fault. How could you have orchestrated this situation? :You didn't have control over anyone else but yourself. In hindsight, maybe you should have excused yourself back to the party once you were alone with him -- but I understand why you didn't. He was orchestrating the situtation and manipulating you. He opens up to you, cries a bit... you felt sorry for him, you gave him a hug. Big deal! HE is the creep in the situation. You were not "asking" for it. Please don't think poorly or second guess yourself. Your boss is in the wrong and that's it.
Whether or not you tell your husband, I think, depends on your husband's temperament. Your conscious is clear that you didn't do anything wrong (or should be). What I would do is write down everything that happened and get it notorized - and keep it safe (so if he does find out later then you have proof with a date that you're not hiding anything from him cause you did anything wrong). I know, if I told my husband, he might go to work and beat the guy up - getting himself fired and maybe even a lawsuit. That doesn't help anyone. My husband would feel the need to defend his "honor." If you feel that uncomfortable about it, you could bring it up with human resources maybe. Or just let it go. But realistically,. what could your husband gain by knowing. In the future, steer clear of this guy, give him mean looks if you get the chance so he knows that he is not wanted in any way, shape or form. If it happens again, then I'd go to human resources and report him and tell your husband that that is what you plan on doing (so he won't feel the need to "defend" his honor).
Good luck! And don't make anyone make you feel bad. I don't care how you were dressed or how many drinks you had, that doesn't give your boss any excuse to plant one on you.jsamezcua | December 9, 2008 | reply

If it happens again, then I'd go to human resources and report him and tell your husband that that is what you plan on doing (so he won't feel the need to "defend" his honor).
Good luck! And don't make anyone make you feel bad. I don't care how you were dressed or how many drinks you had, that doesn't give your boss any excuse to plant one on you.

First, Don't even think that it's your fault because you found yourself in a room alone with him. You were with his wife and she took off -- that's not your fault. How could you have orchestrated this situation? :You didn't have control over anyone else but yourself. In hindsight, maybe you should have excused yourself back to the party once you were alone with him -- but I understand why you didn't. He was orchestrating the situtation and manipulating you. He opens up to you, cries a bit... you felt sorry for him, you gave him a hug. Big deal! HE is the creep in the situation. You were not "asking" for it. Please don't think poorly or second guess yourself. Your boss is in the wrong and that's it.
Whether or not you tell your husband, I think, depends on your husband's temperament. Your conscious is clear that you didn't do anything wrong (or should be). What I would do is write down everything that happened and get it notorized - and keep it safe (so if he does find out later then you have proof with a date that you're not hiding anything from him cause you did anything wrong). I know, if I told my husband, he might go to work and beat the guy up - getting himself fired and maybe even a lawsuit. That doesn't help anyone. My husband would feel the need to defend his "honor." If you feel that uncomfortable about it, you could bring it up with human resources maybe. Or just let it go. But realistically,. what could your husband gain by knowing. In the future, steer clear of this guy, give him mean looks if you get the chance so he knows that he is not wanted in any way, shape or form. If it happens again, then I'd go to human resources and report him and tell your husband that that is what you plan on doing (so he won't feel the need to "defend" his honor).

Boy oh boy, this is complicated! If you tell your husband, which I think you should do. Then he will be mad at his boss. If he confronts his boss, he could get fired. However, I think the relationship between you and your husband is more lasting and important. I beleive a husband and wife relationship should be an open book. So, get it off your chest, come clean, and clear your guilty consience.

as i'm on day 80 + of the 365 day plan this should not be so interesting to me but I have to admit it is
how cute is he?
seriously - let this be one for your mental rolodex and never speak of it again
be good to your hubs

Wow. Sorry to say this but I don't believe there are accidents. Don't you think you kind of allowed this situation to happen or maybe wanted it to? Cocktails. Alone with another guy.
Come clean girl. Is he cuter than your husband?
This was not a fluke and it is my guess you will wind up in some situation with this guy again soon. If you thought it was nothing and something you could laugh off you would not have taken the time to post this on a public website.
