I agree with Wendy. Sarah, here at DW we frequently advocate for advice seekers to pursue therapy when necessary, it can be an extremely useful tool and many of us have gone at one time or another. Your crush seems to have crossed the line into unhealthy, and your insistence that it might somehow come to fruition is unhealthy. Additionally, it is never, and I mean never, acceptable to respond to someone with the language you have used. Something is wrong, and a therapist can help you figure out what that is and how to move past it.
Sarah, your are correct, bosses do date their employees sometimes. No one is perfect, and everyone sometimes makes a mistake. And to be very clear, a boss dating a subordinate is ALWAYS a mistake. It speaks to very poor judgement on the part of the manager, and is a terrible idea for the reasons Cleopatra lined out above. An even worse, and infinitely more damaging mistake, is for a married boss to cheat on his wife with a subordinate. There is nothing to be gained for you by obsessing over this man. I’m not sure why you’re insistently bringing up the “it could happen”argument while simultaneously claiming you don’t want anything to happen. Stop thinking about him, enjoy single guys your own age, and if necessary get a new job.
