Like most office affairs its rarely if ever about that.

Mostly its about being treated nicely, talked nicely and all by the opposite gender. Even successful people have serious marital strife, where their partner makes them feel really bad, no matter what you do for them. Its just a part of marriage.

People deeply crave for love, affection, being wanted, cared and being talked to nicely.

There you see are deeply sought after needs of the human soul. Im guessing you are willing to trade something for it.

No harm no foul then. Let adults be adults.

Not sure about how the government or his company perceives it.

But most spouses take deep offence with these 'emotional affairs' reason is simple, the whole reason why anyone even gets into one is because the person with whom they are having the affair is by definition better than their spouse in this regard. Its being given live feed back that you are a bad person. People have trouble sleeping in the night in any story where they aren't the hero.

That hurts, people often fail to see how their own actions would have led to this. And some people even consider their spouse suffering through their abuse itself as a sign of love.

People are irrational, and marriages are hard.

she was like, "if you give me allocation of gpus for delivery now rather than in 5 years then I'll sleep with you"

pretty much how it went down

i’d sleep with him too if he sold me a billion dollars worth of gpus I could sell on tomorrow for 2 billion in the US or 4 billion in China

I don't think he'd sell out to China. But I can believe he'd be sharing high valuable information during some pillow talk sessions.

If you have a CEO doing that, you need to fire them.
