Slippery slope. For all you know, he's seriously dialed into the active-yet-closeted lifestyle and you're the one that set off his gaydar.Originally posted by Asher View PostHe knows I'm "engaged". I'm not out at work.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Good job. I wouldn't expect someone to bring in their whips and shackles to work either, no matter their sexual persuasion.Originally posted by Asher View PostYes, it could potentially be career-limiting.

I must say I am surprised by that.
