Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 33-year-old, married, and I have two kids. One of my co-workers, who is also married, forced me to have a relationship with him. I denied him. But now I feel attracted to him. At the same time, I am guilty and depressed and I feel like I am cheating on my husband.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ruhi Satija

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I can understand your situation. However, I have a few questions for you.

  1. Did your co-worker force you to have a casual physical or emotional relationship?
  2. How did you reach from somebody forcing you to do something to a point where you like it?

Also, I want to know about your relationship with your husband. And you need to resolve this issue as soon as possible, or you will end up hurting the people you love. I also suggest you consult a therapist.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
