    When a friendship goes to far
    Does anyone think that it's normal for a married man who's 35 to have a frienship with a 20 year old co worker girl for them to text page one another and call each other, also when the wife goes to the job and then she sees his wife and she gets very upset and storms out of the job and slams her car door and takes off like a lunatic on the job's lot

    35 year old man (married) + 20 year old GIRL (coworker) = nothing but trouble

    Only question is if the trouble has already happened. I would highly suspect they are more than friends and are probably "dating".

    You don't mention if this is happening to you or someone you know but I think your just refusing to see that they are closer than friends and may be having sex.

    I say it is bad news. But that is just me not giving the hot mama and the sugar daddie the benefit of the doubt!

    No, I do not think that is normal.
    It is certainly unhealthy in my opinion.

    Normal, yes normal for a man who is having an affair with the younger girl, and it is very common.

    Normal , I wouldn't say so, most likely he's missing something and he's trying to get it through her, he also likes that attention from someone else.

    If I were seeing the situation that you are describing, I'd think that they were having an affair already...
    The girl wouldn't be acting so jealous and crazy if they just had a business relationship.

    This sounds messy from several angles. The married/single part, the age difference (although this isn't terrible), but the CO-WORKER part is troublesome to me. Could be a sexual harassment or inappropriate relationship case in the making.

    Not sure what your role in it is, but I'd be cautious if you are involved or if you are associated with either party.

    A lot of red flags waving. Not good or healthy, and Highly, I repeat HIGHLY suspicous. A good honest talk is necessary.

    I think it`s normal to have a friend. I think the wife is just jelous. U`re 35 it means that u are one step closer to the forties crises. Choose who u like more(ifa friendship goes to far)-wife or that girl who can exchange u for a younger guy. But on the other hand if u have olny friendly relationship then I think u have to explain it to your wife and if she loves u she`ll understand u :)

    Being friends is acceptable... BUT I MEAN JUST FRIENDS, and there is a limit to how far it goes with out it seeing not like a friendship.
    If your married there should be an ideal amount of space, and I'm sorry but the line may have been crossed so to speak...

    Obviously the storming off and so on are not normal under any circumstances. If they work together, that's enough contact. If they are texting or calling too, that's out of bounds.
