Thanks a lot, It's a lot easier to not feel guilty when the person that you are betraying is acting like a jerk. I think that's part of the issue with W's interactions with me and over the last year.
I'm a pretty laid back guy and to boast, generally very caring and in tune with people's emotions. I've been that way for a while, but really have to be that way at work since I have a lot of people with various backgrounds on the team of people I lead.
In saying that, that's why it's so weird that W says she feels emotionally unsafe with me. I can say that when I confronted her about OM and she just kept lying to me, I lost my temper and yelled at her on the phone. Mainly because I was so mad that she left me and her family in a lie and had no plans to tell anyone what was really going on.
In saying all of this, I am passive aggressive, so maybe that's part of why I can stay even-keeled in times like this. I also knew whatever I said to OM would A) get back to my W as soon as I was out of site B) maybe, just maybe start having OM 2nd guess some of the things my W says about me.
