Haha....it was good advice. I never approached him with the intention of becoming involved. He blurred boundaries with me and crossed the line. And I wasn't sure what to do about it, and we never talked about it. Now we're being separated but he obviously likes me and cares about me because he can't hide it. I like him so much, and its really rare for me to feel romantically about anyone. First time in 7 years. I didn't think I was capable of it anymore.

But that being said, I know nothing will ever come out of it. Knowing the intimate things I know about him now, I can't think or feel about him differently. My solution was to cut off all contact and take myself out of the environment so I could move on. They've cut my hours pretty badly over this, as if I did something wrong. I did step out of line, but he should have told me so, instead of what he did do. Someone tried to frame me over this, another manager. So I'm in a very difficult situation. Chris was my ally, and now he has to avoid me. I don't want to ruin any future job references. And I no longer have anyone to turn to. I've been crying about this on and off for weeks. Struggling with anxiety, panic attacks and then exhaustion. For a number of days I'd just sleep 12 hours. I honestly don't want anything from him except for things to be okay.
