  • I don't think he'll report you to HR since he's never complained and since he's been smiling at you. But it is good to be aware of how you're coming across to others. It is good to consider you may be sending him the wrong message. It is important for you to know that even if you didn't mean it as sexual harassment you could still be accused of it because sexual harassment is based in actions not intention. So the best thing for you to do is to decrease the hugs by a lot... But don't make it awkward by completely stopping... Unless you're really scared and have a bad feeling about it. But I understand you. There are some female friends I just would love to hug. They're married and so am I, so our hugs ha e to be brief. But I feel they sense I like them, even live them, and want to hug them more. I frankly don't know what to do with my feelings except bottle them up and not hug them as much out of respect for my wife, their husbands, and them. But seriously, I wish I had hugger female friends at work. There's like three of them I really would like to hug.

    • Right! Some have been saying I'm disrespecting him and his wife, and it's like that's not my meaning at all, I've never seen hugs as a sexual tjing just s friendly emotional thing. I guess this is something me and society will never agree on. At some of my previous jobs hugs were passed around alot and those that didn't want any simply made there desire on it known. It worked well.. it's a shame your not able to hug them, wanting to hug someone and being able to sucks. I would probably live for the hugs to..

      • It's not societies rules, it's basic rules that differ between married couples.
        Hugging is an imtimate thing, even if it's not sexual, some married women/men find it disrespectful to their relationship and a form of cheating.
        I personally don't but depends on who they're hugging, such as a stranger or a friend.
        Even texting someone secretly is a form of cheating to some couples, because of the break of trust.

        You can still be disrespectful even without trying. (e.g. trying to make someone laugh, not realizing the joke is a bit too inappropriate for the setting)

        • Yeahhhh
          Gotta agree with Muser.
          Society not to blame, since the rules of cheating and respect in a marriege differ with everyone.
          Plus you said you had a little crush on him. Lol

          Texting is a no no if there are nudes in my book lol.
          But friends I don't really give a shit.
