I started a new job in October and my boss and I quickly got on well.
Over these months, something has built up. He compliments me, touches me, stands close, likes to tease and make me laugh, we have had longer eye contact and there is often a flirtatious atmosphere between us where we also laugh a lot together. Two of our colleagues have noticed and wonder what is going on between us. At the weekend he wrote to me on messenger and sent me pictures of him and gave updates on his day.
The thing is, he's married. He has joked that his wife will leave him one day, that she will get tired. We've never talked about what's going on between us and I'm not really sure what he wants? How can I talk to him?

Sis, this whole situation seems super messy and inappropriate tbh. First things first, you absolutely cannot get mixed up with a married man - that road only leads to heartbreak, trust me.
It seems pretty clear he's into you and flirting something serious, especially with the texting and pictures over the weekend. But he's just stringing you along as long as he can have his cake and eat it too without commitment. That's not right.
You need to have a serious talk with him, just the two of you privately. Lay it all out - the touching, compliments, flirting can't continue if he's married. Either he needs to handle his situation at home or you'll have to keep things 100% professional from now on.
Don't let him smooth-talk his way out of it either. Stand your ground sis! You deserve way better than sloppy seconds. He's being unfair leading you on when he belongs to someone else.
Stay strong, and remember - you got this job on your own merits, not because of him. Don't jeopardize your career over some man's games. You're way too good for that!
His behavior is extremely unprofessional. There's nothing good here for you. You should ask him to restrict your conversations to business matters.
Exactly
What is happening is a disaster waiting to happen. He is married and does not actually want to be with you. Juts wants you for casual sex
