On fucking your way to the middle.

How do you know when to call it quits with a fuckbuddy?

A few issues: He’s my boss. He’s practically engaged (he’s shown me the $20k ring, which I find outrageous), and has said that he “loves everything about me and would totally date me if it weren’t for his girlfriend”.

I don’t want to date him and I know that things will eventually change (or so he says, once he actually proposes) and that’s fine, but I’ll admit that I enjoy having control and I would like it to stay that way.

So, if your boss followed the three month’s salary rule, he’s pulling down eighty grand a year. If he’s corporate, that puts him at the non-professional junior executive level, probably early thirties, and clearly a world class douchebag for cheating on his soon-to-be fiance with a subordinate at work.

Unless his dad owns the company, this guy probably doesn’t have the power to single-handedly promote you, but he can make a recommendation.

If you enjoy having control, I suggest you exert some.

The balance of power shifts dramatically in your favor the day he proposes. On that day, congratulate him and then make a formal request for a promotion with a raise. Do it all with a smile, and don’t even hint at anything shady. Trust me, he’ll get the message.

It will immediately end the fuckbuddy status of your relationship because he’ll be terrified of you, and yet everything stays friendly. Plus, he’ll do everything in his power to get you all the perks you ask for.
