How would you feel if you found out that one of your co-workers was sleeping with the boss who happens to be married? The boss and his wife eventually divorce and he gives you this story that things just did not work out. Now he and your co-worker have brought their relationship out into the open. How do you treat them? How do you get past what they have done? Do you respect them when they had no respect for his wife and family?? Or can you just avoid them?

That's a good question. If you really love your job, I would be polite and cordial to them, but try to minimize contact with them, if that is even possible. Or, you could start looking for another job. In that situation, depending on how small or large your office is, it seems to me that it would have a negative impact on morale.
Instead of working for one boss, you might feel that you now have to be deferential to his new wife (your coworker). Ugh. I think I'd start looking for something else.

you find another job. Who wants to work for and with a couple of dirt bags not to mention the inappropriateness of the relationships openness in the work place.
My boss favored my coworker and the favoritism wreaked so bad that I found a better place to work.
It will only get worse for you as she is now the top whore and your boss will favor her. if you stay keep your mouth shut and do not say anything or YOU will be fired.
The answer should be obvious...LOSE ALL RESPECT FOR THEM AS HUMAN BEINGS. SICK, SICK PEOPLE.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do. But remeber, if you stay keep your full mouth shut or you will suffer.

i guess it depends if the marrage was on the rocks in the first place or if the 'other woman' was the cause. still you have to work with thm so just be civil and thats as far as it should go unless you want to be better friends. If the boss was'nt getting what he needed at home i can't blame him for looking elsewhere and you need to keep that in mind.

As hard as it may be to keep opinions within yourself
I feel it would be in your best interest.
I wouldn't treat them any different as you did before the
relationship started.
Just try to get through another day of work even if you disagree
with their relationship.

They are being really stupid but that's there business......I would treat him like the boss and her like the co-worker.
You respect the title they hold....it's not necessary for you to respect them or like them or get past what they did.
After hours you decide who to associate with.

If you want to continue working there, you should continue like nothing has happened and you had no idea of the relationship before the divorce.

Other people's personal life is their own business. I know it is hard to maintain respect if what they did is against your personal convictions but unless you are involved in the situation, keep your insights/ opinion to yourself. Just learn to be tolerant to them.

What is it to you? Treat him as your boss. You don't have to react to his personal life. If you are really all that high and mighty you could find another job and quit.

If he's divorced now then that means his marriage wasn't any good anyway. Who cares that they are messing around....good for them. Why should anyone else care that they are a couple?
