  That really stinks and I'm sorry you had to deal with it.  Last laugh will be on him though, now that he's got a reputation for being an asshole and clearly not trustworthy with one's private thoughts.  (((((((((((HUG)))))))))))

  hey sweetie? 
  this is a very valuable life lesson that you learned and the fact that  it just cost you a little bit of embarrassment is a good thing!  It could have been so much worse!
   
  try as hard as you can to keep your work life and your personal life separate.  this will serve you well.  i've been around corporate life for close to 30 years now, and have seen lots of office romances, affairs, etc and about 95% end badly and with humiliation for all of the  parties involved.
   
  oh i could tell you some really juicy stories and i used to wonder how these people could continue to show up in the office afterwards, but they did.....until it got to be too much, and then they would either leave the company or find work in another department. 
   
  it always hurts when our trust is betrayed.
  but that doesn't mean we will never trust again.
  what it does mean is that next time we do trust, we're a whole lot more careful.

  You could see if your friend has spilled the beans to your ex by sending some "interesting" emails.

  Sorry TBS. Well now you know he's an ass before it got too serious and feelings got further invested. Sorry  your feelings were hurt though. I suffer from migraines too. The whole situation stressed you huh? Well don't worry. Karma is a bitch and it he'll get his.

  wow, how old is this guy?  feeling humiliated and betrayed sucks.  sorry for my ever so eloquent response.  i'm pissed off for you.

  Hold your head up. The person that should be feeling badly is the guy sharing your text messages. What a loser. People will figure that out. And of course Secret is right. Lesson learned.

  I'm sorry that you had to find out that way that such assholes exist,  although better now than later on in life.  ((( HUGS )))

  Such is the problem with workplace romance...  When things go sour, your job becomes more difficult. 
  
  Kind of a catch 22 situation, though.  Where else are busy, working, single people to meet one another if not at work? 
  
  [sigh]
  
  I'm sorry.  I like Expendable's suggestion.

  Always difficult to juggle - romance, job and personal life in an office arena.
   
  Unless there is some personal gain - have affairs with the higher ups than with the lower or lateral ones. The latter ones will always ditch you sometime or the other.

  Never get your meat where you get your bread!
  
  Now you are going to have to have him killed....  That could be expensive.

  don't worry. karma would get him!!! for now stop texting him...

• D6fer said on Apr 08, 2009....

  looks like lesson learned here....at least you should have....there's an old saying : Don't shit in your own nest......I think that applies here!
  The office is for work and romance will only distract people from the things they get paid to do.
  This guy was clearly wrong and immature for what he did, but you broke the 1st rule too!

  I"m so sorry tbs. This situation is horrible. I had a co-worker who blabbed about him and I also...which gave me a rep. But my EC took care of that  pretty quick.  I'm sorry your hurt, but your right, at least you never told him anything too personal. (hugs). Your too good for him anyway hun.

  I am so sorry that happened to you. You get his ass back.
