If you found out a boss (or colleague) is cheating (gf/bf or spouse), does that make you lose respect for them even when it comes to their work/decisions?

^ nonsense. It's none of our business. Every person has their own circumstances and story. As long as they perform well, follow the laws, and are professional at work, their private lives are of none of ur concern

It's all about integrity. There's no shame in divorce. Man (or woman) up and have the stones to end one relationship before starting another. No harm, no foul. Otherwise, it's selfish cowardice and that always shows up in the workplace at some point.

None of my business? I respectfully disagree.

I consider it a major red flag and a sign of a potential character flaw, and would lose respect for the person, and find it difficult to trust him after learning that. He is actively deceiving the person who most deserves to be able to trust him, and is risking a great deal due to a lack of scruples or a lack of impulse control.

If it's none of our business, @EY1, why do we know about it? If a leader has the gall to admit to infidelity to a not that close coworker, I would seriously judge their discernment or lack thereof.

Maybe - intentionally deceiving a person to whom you've made a commitment is an indicator of character / integrity issue, which would make me question their truthfulness in other areas, including at work.

Such a narrow view of marriage in the US. Different people have different values. You don't know if they have an arrangement. If their going through a divorce ect ect.
