Classic: The young attorney doth protest too much.

I am a young attorney at a solid law firm. I work very hard, have received stellar reviews, and seem to be well-liked. I’m also happily married to a beautiful woman I adore. And now I am worried about losing the love of my life, my job, or both. Despite my great marriage, I sometimes peruse Craigslist personal ads, just for kicks. Sometimes I even reply—always from an anonymous email—but it never goes any further than that. It’s just a fun fantasy for me. No hookups, no chat, nothing. I have not and would not cheat on my wife. Unfortunately, this past weekend I replied to an ad from my iPhone and I accidentally used my work email account. Although the email wasn’t explicit, it makes me look very bad. I feel absolutely awful. I pay for the phone, but the email goes through the firm’s server, which I know has monitoring software. I’m wondering whether and who I should tell about this. I’m afraid if I bring it up at work, what may have gone unnoticed will become an issue. Also, should I give my wife a head’s up, in case I lose my job? I’m worried that what I thought was a fun little secret is now going to turn into a very public nightmare.

    Your fun fantasy makes you a jerk.  Stop this.

    Don’t tell anyone except the therapist you need to start seeing immediately to help you stop this destructive behavior.

    Tell your partner about this "fun fantasy" because it's not just harmless fun. No, I probably wouldn't say anything to anyone at work unless it's something truly dangerous. It may be on the firm server, but no one is spending the time reading through all your emails. And learn how to use your damned phone.

    Dear Advice Columnist--

    I have a perfect, enviable life that I am so happy with.  But I am trying to completely destroy it over a nonsense habit I do for "kicks".  Please help.
