I’m a married woman but I think I’m falling in love with my female work colleague – The Sun

DEAR DEIDRE: IT is difficult to know how to tell a work colleague I’ve fallen for her.

We are both women in an advertising agency and collaborate on projects.

Our workmates think we are joined at the hip because we chat every day even when we’re not working together.

I’m 32 and married. She is 30 and is in a long-term straight relationship. If I run into a crisis I always know she’ll make me feel better.

I don’t want to admit that I’m in love with her but that’s my only explanation.

I’ve tried suggesting we go out in a foursome and have nights out with other colleagues to change my focus, but nothing works.

I tell myself I’m reading too much into her loving ways.

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s an intense friendship but you don’t mention sexual attraction. Maybe she’s the sister you never had?

What’s your marriage like? Can you confide in your husband? Have a break from your colleague outside working hours and focus on your husband.
