I didn't mean to imply you were having an A with her, but by your own description it could be an A waiting to happen. Whenever there is "obvious attraction and chemistry" you should continue to avoid having any more conversations......period. The fact she had such an effect on you is a warning of how vulnerable you can be to acting on it further.

I believe most WAS thinks it is so much easier to have a new relationship than putting in the hard work to restore the old one.



Oh, I know good and well that there was high potential for an A. I was able to stop things before they got too far. We say "Hi" passing in the halls. That's it. There was never any communication outside of work, so nothing to stop there.

I know I sound like an idiot to others on this board who's sitches are much worse than mine. Hell, I feel like an idiot. I know these are simply emotions and they'll pass....so I whine here. I had faith that my W and I were on a good trajectory, I just didn't expect the reaction I had.
