I work in a small office with a guy who started a small business a couple of years ago and then sold it a couple of months ago. He hired me during my divorce, and has been kind and generous to me, and until recently I really enjoyed working with him. After he sold his business, he stayed on in his position, but he obviously regrets selling and he doesn't have enough to do, so behind his partition in the office he has video chats with a woman, and they talk about getting together, etc. We're talking about hours of hushed conversations, where he plays Tony Bennett music in the background, etc. There's no question in my mind that they talk this way regularly and meet. I haven't had to cover for the guy, but I think that his productivity is down and his new boss is noticing.

This guy also has his 16 year old daughter and 19 year old son come in to the office and work about 15 hours a week, and once in a while his wife drops in as well. I think this guy is stupid and careless and he's a divorce waiting to happen. My divorce was mostly brought on by my wife's infidelity, and suddenly I have a lot of anger welling up in me regarding this situation. I'm really upset with my boss, that he can't at least keep his embarassing behavior to himself. I really don't like having knowledge of this at all, but I do, and I need to keep my job during my divorce, etc.

Any suggestions? It makes my skin crawl. I think cheating on a spouse is scummy behavior, but I need to keep distance enough to keep my job, especially during my divorce. I just keep hoping he will quit (he's in his mid-50s). I wish more than anything I could just tell myself to mind my own business, but the infidelity hits very close to home right now.
