I went out with my girl friend last weekend and bumped into my boss and his friends. We ended up sharing a table. After too many flutes of champagne, everybody was happy and, err, 'relaxed'. I didn't remember how this happened but my friend went home with my boss. And boss is married. Wifey is away on holiday.
The next morning was reportedly quite peaceful, my friend left without exchanging phone number whatsover, and she's cool with that.
Now thing is I see him in the office everyday and he knows I know. I guess he wishes I'd vanish into the blue. Am I in a potential job crisis?

Not if you don't make an issue of it. Does it bother you? If it does, it may be clear and you might want to talk about it with your boss.

sticky situation! i say:just ignore it.
he prolly has slept with other women too when wifey was out of town. shouldn't concern you much even though your friend was involved. just go around doing what you do at work without stepping on his feet too much!

What about you get promoted for "detaining a dangerous little secret so as to hold it tight"?!
Only joking, but if you're scared for your job, he probably is a little scared about the information you detain on his private life and how potentially (like in a bad movie!) you could use it...
So, I look at it as everybody else has so far: no other option but to pretend nothing happened and carry on as usual. If anyone was to ever mention it again, it would have to be him, certainly not you!!

I do know the wife, have met on social occasions and maybe still will do, we are not close though. Relationship with boss was not bad, but not good enough to talk about personal life either. He knows I don't gossip around in the office, but I guess he might fear that I'd let out something when I meet with the wife next time. Well I will not.
ahacha I love your idea!! lol kidding. Thanks to all of you. Yes I will just pretend nothing happened unless he mentions it.

Act maturely!
They say 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'. In your case, let's say nothing gossipped about nothing lost. Please, mind your own biz and, I bet, you'll keep your job and perhaps a promotion will soon be on the silver platter for ya.
Hehahehaaaaaaaaaaa ....... Small world and big issues .... na waaaa oooo [as my Nigerian friends will say].

Your friend was not very resepctful to you, really.
Surely she must realise, although largered, that doing such a thing, regardless of whether your boss is married or not (married makes it worse) would put you in a sticky position.
But you can't rewind her action, just make sure you don't ever take girls to meet your boss, you don't want to become his pimp.
Also, his wife might be pretty mad at you if she finds out as she may consider you facilitated it and even encoraged your fried to go home with your boss and think you did it in some manner for your own gain.....

Oh my goodness. Salty, that's a really harsh reply! Both adults had consensual sex. I'd say the boss had a greater need to control himself than the friend did! Your boss did something which now makes you uncomfortable when you see him. You lost respect for him. YOu're not supposed to know about your boss's sex life. You generally do know what your friends are like, so it's the boss who exposed you to more than you wanted to know about him. I think bosses are supposed to try to keep it in their pants when they are out with employees. It doesn't mean they will, but one expects one to try. It's embarrassing to see co-workers or bosses misbehaving so I try and avoid drinking too much on those occasions. I am glad you will keep quiet but if you know the boss does this every weekend, well if it were me, I'd probably quit and tell the wife. I don't think I could hold the info. inside.

Indeed nifty is right.
If he does not have one of those dodgy "open relationships" with his wife, then he is certainly the one to be sweating.....
It could be difficult, but if his attitude towards you changes in a negative direction, you could consider asking (by email?) him if he wants to have a re-match come and have a drink with you and "Suzie" again on Friday....
.......but that would really be saying its gloves off now! (not recommended)

Males don't generally say "girl friend" unless it's their "girlfriend" girlfriend, and if his girlfriend slept with his boss, then well... that's another problem altogether!
I think that's why it was so easy for us all to assume deepinpain is a woman.
