    Are you close enough to your boss to know whether he is still with his wife or separated? I imagine, if you were that close/friendly, you'd feel able to mention having seen him on Grindr ;)

    Either way, I agree with those that say it's none of your business really, it's his personal life to sort out, even if it is him - which you don't sound 100% sure of.

    "Won't somebody please think of the children" ...yawn


    Or alternatively, just let adults get on with what adults do without dredging up some 'think of the children' non-argument.


    You don't think the OP's boss should be thinking of his children? Presumably he agrees with you that being Dad is a big yawn too compared to touting himself for sex on the internet.

    Won't somebody please think of the CHILDREN!!!!!

    Parent's job to protect their own children, and if their children DO find out about things like this then it's the parent's job to put it into the proper context.

    And if the parent isn't comfortable talking to their child about sex and sexuality, it's the parent that has the problem.

    I'd love to hear the OP's boss explain the context of his. behaviour to his children - no doubt their pain will be their problem, not his.

    Kinda related, a while back the missus asked me what Blendr was.
    I asked why and she said there was a rumour that one of her mates was on it. I think she thought it was something a bit like facebook. :blush:

    Anyway, after installing it, she seems to take great delight in browsing it to see if there's anybody she knows active on it.

    Is it vaguely possible that the OP's boss might have signed up to Grindr for a similar reason?

    I think that's a good point. Many of us have signed up to things out of nosiness, or looked around Facebook out of nosiness... we are human, we are nosy :D

    Course, I suppose if his profile says summat like "Leather bear looking for rough, hot action" then that might be a little less likely. :blush:

    To be fair OP should just leave it alone, has zero to do with him.

    Him being a homosexual is between him, his family and god, if he's that way inclined and no one else. You are not apart of his marriage.

    He could be cringing at the fact he has seen you on it too...

    I know someone who was married with kids, who only came out to himself when the children were of school age. He told his wife but nobody else, and after many tears they agreed to continue being a couple until such time as the children were grown up. They split when the youngest child was at university, and he now lives with his same-sex partner, who he'd been seeing for the last two years of the marriage.

    Sometimes these stories are complicated. Don't get involved IMO.

    Maybe, but it's nobody else's. The boss will have to come to terms with his actions, but it's really not for any of us to say what is and isn't morally right and wrong, now.

    Of course it's morally wrong to cheat, lie and deceive and advertise yourself like a prostitute. And its the childfen who will have to come to terms with their father's actions. if tthey ever find out - Daddy will have forgiven himself in his own mind.

    This!!

    This guy thinks it's "just a bit of fun" and it's just silly and selfish tbh to go behind his familys back and especially on such a manner.

    It's one thing to cheat and possibly even feel regret for what you've done but to put yourself on an app and state what you want and basically asking to cheat is incredibly wrong.

    Can't even say I'm surprised though, when I had that app, it was full of married guys or old men wanting to cop off. Why I deleted it right away, people have no respect or dignity.

    I can not connect on Grindr as it constantly displays an error message about trying to contact the server. I've tried deinstalling & downloading it again but the same problem persists. Anyone having the same problem? I've turned the power off, taken my battery out & rebooted it but nothing... >:(

    Yeah I have to say up until that post I thought it was genuine but your comment was what I thought.

    Anyway OP unless you don't have pics, isn't it likely he would have seen you and know you know. If you're you're both logged on at work, then grindr would be showing you each other
