Working from home has complicated some affairs and presumably prevented others from starting up. But some cheaters are getting creative.
We’ve all heard the stories and seen the movies: A new cute coworker slowly develops a friendship with a married colleague. They trade banter over Slack. They’re touchy feely at office lunches and happy hour. The next thing you know, the two are in a full-blown affair.

Alsaleem, a marriage therapist and founder of the Infidelity Counseling Center in Roseville, California.
