It’s best not to get deeply involved with anyone you work with.  It makes things so difficult if things go wrong and it’s excruciatingly awkward for colleagues of the involved couple.  I’ve been caught up more than once in the crossfire between warring partners and there was one time that I walked in on a very embarrassing situation :0

Oh Saffie please tell us all about that. Did they have all their clothes off and everything?

And if they did. Was all her underwear matching? SHAME on her if not!

Posted: 10 January 2010 09:33 PM

They weren’t fully undressed, just in a state of re-arrangement.  Truth be told, I made a very sharp exit as soon as I realised what was going on!

Oh. How disappointing.  I would’ve stayed and went (AHEM!). smile

....Were they both married to other people then??

She was married with 4 kids, he had a long term girlfriend.  They ended up married to each other and had another child, but latest reports suggest things are a bit rocky.

Ha!  Yes, it’s funny looking back, but at the time it made things very awkward at work.  I didn’t know where to look!  smile

Back to the original question - isn’t it true that most people meet their partners at work?  I would guess that’s because people working together may have similar interests - plus that’s where you spend most of your time (esp if you are a lawyer in a city firm…)

I wouldn’t say it is ‘guaranteed to be a disaster’ - I know a lot of people that met partners at work.  If you can be mature about it (both when things are good and when they are not so good) then I don’t see why you should feel there is an absolute bar on work relationships.
