This married co-worker that you saw on a dating site may be there because they are miserable in their marriage and are looking for an escape.

They may feel incredibly stifled in their marriage.

Your married co-worker may feel as though they have no one to really talk to.

They may feel as though they are trapped and are unable to express what they are going through emotionally with their spouse or anyone else.

They may have tried to talk to their spouse in the past about issues that they are having within the marriage and their spouse may have rebuffed them.

They may have then consequently turned to friends for guidance and received no help there either.

In some cases, they may have even felt embarrassed to turn for advice from friends.

Hence, they are unable to talk to anyone about their marital bitterness.

This may be where your married co-worker found themselves mentally.

They may have remained in this mental anguish for quite some time until they simply couldn’t take it anymore.

As a result, they chose to join a dating site.

Married people who do this are not always entirely certain of what they are looking for.

However, they know that they need an escape.

Now that you have seen your married co-worker on a dating site, you may wonder about what you should do about it.

If this is a co-worker that you see on a daily basis at work, you may find it difficult to look at them in the same way that you used to.

However, do understand that you have no idea what kind of marriage this co-worker is in.

Not all married people join a dating site behind the backs of their spouses.

There are some married couples that are fully aware that their spouse is on a dating site.

In fact, oftentimes, both married couples will have their own dating profiles.

In essence, they are both attempting to meet other people outside of their marriage.

There may be an understanding between the both of them that this would be better for their marriage.

These are people who are typically in open marriages.

They have an understanding that they can pursue intimate relations with people outside of their marriage.

This does exist in some marriages.

Hence, try not to make an instant assumption that this married co-worker that you saw on a dating site is doing this behind their spouse’s back.

You should also understand that though you believe this co-worker to be married, they may actually be in the process of getting a separation from their spouse.

Though they may still live in the same house as their spouse, they may not be sharing the same bed.

Hence, as far as they are concerned, their marriage is just about done.

Right now, the only thing that may be keeping a divorce from happening may be all of the financial costs and custody issues that come with it.

Hence, try not to judge a situation based on what you see at face value.

It is also possible that you saw an old profile of your married co-worker on the dating site.

This may have been a dating site that your now married co-worker was on before they met the person that would become their spouse.

In essence, this married co-worker may have not even visited this dating profile ever since they met their spouse and ultimately got married.

Dating sites are notorious for not deleting inactive online dating accounts.

There are some people who still have their dating profiles showing on dating sites that they stopped visiting years earlier.

Now, even with all of these extenuating possibilities, the married co-worker that you saw on a dating site could truly be doing all of this behind the back of an unknowing spouse.

This tends to be the most popular scenario.

If this is the case, it will really only be a matter of time before someone else like you finds this married co-worker’s dating profile.

In other words, someone else who knows this married co-worker will find their dating profile.

Online dating has become so popular that seeing people that you know on a dating site is a very regular occurrence.

In a scenario like this, it will only be a matter of time before word eventually gets back to this married co-worker’s spouse.

In which case, that dating profile will not stay up for very long.
