Nothing Easy About Ending It
Evidently, contact with the “friend” cannot go on in the same way. Seeing that person and having some interaction may be necessary if both parties work together, and there will certainly be a period of change involved. Anything involving a work situation can be uncomfortable and delicate, and co-workers are bound to notice the change in interactions between the person ending the affair and the “friend.”
There’s nothing simple about ending emotional affairs. The painful period just has to be endured. It the situation is unworkable, one or the other may need to change jobs. Consider your counseling options. If your spouse is involved in an emotional affair and won’t acknowledge the seriousness of it, make any changes, or agree to go to counseling to discuss it, then you need to begin individual counseling sessions to help you deal with the situation and decide what to do.
