I had an affair with a married colleague (we'll call him Bob) who then became my boss. I worked for a non profit to which Bob was a consultant. His business partner offered me a job, without knowledge of the affair, and I accepted under the promise I would learn valuable skills to move ahead in my career. Once Bob became my boss we mutually agreed to end the affair (which was cordial and without drama) and I have been excelling at the job and very happy there for the past month.
Bob's wife found out about the affair after it ended and is now demanding I be removed from the workplace. Although they have not fired me as of yet, this all just happened 3 days ago, they are trying to come up with a work from home solution or something similar.
By being removed from the main office I will most likely not receive the training I was promised and Bob has agreed (in order to save his marriage) to have no contact with me. Pretty hard to perform my job if I can have no contact with my boss.
I live in Virginia, a right to work state, and I don't know if there are any legal protections for me in this unfortunate and regrettable scenario.
Please advise.
