I am in a relationship with my boss, who is also a married man. We’ve been together for 1 year and 4 months now. Around September last year, his wife started suspecting us, but he was able to calm her down by saying that nothing was going on between us and that we were just colleagues. However, to this date, the wife still believes that we have a relationship, but she has chosen not to talk about it anymore. Now, 2 months ago, a new lady joined our team, and she has caught my man’s attention. Since she came, he has gradually lost interest in me.
He started ignoring me and visiting me less, and now he’s close to this new lady. He even asked the lady to come and stay with me because she had accommodation issues, and she has been with me for almost a month now. But it’s been hell for me because he talks to her every night before he goes to bed, and he doesn’t do that to me anymore. After dropping us at home, he tells the lady to make sure she chats or calls him before she sleeps. He sends her money for upkeep and has stopped doing that for me. He no longer has time for me.
Anytime I try to ask him why he has stopped visiting me, he claims that he cannot visit me when I now have a roommate, whom he brought to me. I’m really confused, and I don’t know what to do. I can’t confront the lady to tell her that I’m dating my boss because no one knows that we’re in a relationship. He has cut me off from my friends, so I presently have no one to talk to except him. And the most annoying part is that his wife prefers him being close to the new lady than to me. I need your advice, please.
Do you think I should end the relationship? I cry myself to sleep every night. If I break up with him, I might lose my job, my car, and the apartment (because he got the car and apartment for me). Please don’t judge me; I’ll be waiting in the comments section. I just need your advice. Thank you.
