Who works with their significant other?

[Lynn&Troy]

I would like feedback from those who work with their significant other. I work with my significant other and it is nice to see him everyday, otherwise I would not be able to. But it has a lot of negatives. Like if he did something I still have to see him and talk to him anyway and the office slut likes him and sucks up to him constantly. It makes me ill. I would prefer to have a normal relationship. Another thing I feel as though we are always on display. I start my fellowship in August and will no longer work there I will be glad. I just wanted to know how some of you all who work with your significant others feel and what you did to get over the issues associated with it.

Personally, I would not work with my S/O.

In the past, I have never worked with a significant other. In the future, I would never want to date, -or on a serious note, be in a committed relationship -with a man who works in the same field as me.

 

I like variety. Thank you. I'll pass.

 

Just be thankful, you are not going to be working there for long.

Yes, it is no cup of tea, I have to tell you!

I worked with my hubby for quite a while. Two different area's but in the same building, same floor. I would go OUT of my way not to see or talk to him, as he would to me too. We both would be in work mode anyway, so there's no point in hanging out or anything.

I use to work with my GF. We were in different departments. She only worked there part-time, so we hardly ever saw each other. Once in a while I saw her on a break and we would sit and talk. It was all good.

i do not see him that much.

Hi; I just read your post. Personally myself I have never worked with a s/o but I was friends with a married couple who did. Let me tell you it was not pretty. First of all; this couple should not have been married let alone business partners! They ran a small cafe together where he was the cook and she was the waitress. They would get in screaming matches in front of the customers- they would fight and air their dirty laundry; something about the kids and money. Can you imagine being them? Having to work all day together and then go home to each other? I don't think it's a good idea working with a s/o unless you have a fairly stable relationship. If the couple hates each other then obviously they should not be working together.

I work with my boyfriend and at least for us it works out pretty well. We met at work and have been together for 6 years now. Occasionally we get into fights and work but usually work it out before we get home that night.
