My hubby wants me to go work with him part-time where he works and I have work with him at another job before but we were not on the same shift and do you think it be too hard to work with your hubby or wife if you had to work with him or her on the same shift? If you got mad at him or her at home would you take it with you to work or if you got mad at them at work would you bring it home? What do guys think ? The only reason why I am thinking about it because it so hard to find a job now days.

I think it all depends of the couple..I know some couples work very well together and soem don't..I am in the latter catagory, no way could I work with my husband, we are both are perfectionists and would get on each others nerves..

me and my hubby does just fine. It's all about finding the right balance. You can't be afraid to take some time for yourself. The extra time we spend together is great but sometimes we need a break from each other.

i could never work with my husband. he is too critical and too demanding and he is very disorganized. i am very organized and i cannot have people messing with my filing system or my desk. as it is he owns a small business and i do the bookkeeping from our home office and sometimes he uses my desk and i cringe because he messes everything up within minutes.

hello my fellow myLotter, me and my x-husband were in the army together and in the same damn company. we went to the field together and everything. he was a very jealous person. and it did not work end up getting a divorce a year and a half after saying i do. so if your husband is not a jealous person i think it can work out. happy posting!

As for me ,i will feel uncomfortable when i work with my wife .Because our relationship is too intimate .Having this relationship ,it will have a reflection on my decision or behavior ,because i must consider her feeling .And if we got different opinions on our work ,even we quarried because of work .It will destroy my family relationship ,so it 's not valuable .

Oh, God - don't do it! It's hard being together all the time and also when you do have some time when you're not working, you find that all you talk about is work!

I understand and I don't want to do it forever and I only working part time and going to school full time so maybe it won't be as bad.

As long as you are both professional and have your own tasks I think it would be ok. My dad owns his own accounting business and my mom helps process tax returns and fills in for the secretary when she needs a day off and it seems to work fine for them. I might have a problem working with my husband if he was in a position of power over me--like if he were a manager and I just a regular employee as that is a reversal of our role at home, but otherwise I think it would be ok.

I will definitely quarel with the other half if we worked together! We are from different job roles. And these job roles will have some conflict naturally. We always share about our work and there are many times I didn't agree with his decision, so as he. Well, better for us to work independently.
