having a romantic relationship with officemate, would this not affect work???

Before, I used to think that having a romantic relationship within the office would not affect the work. You just have to set limitations and work professionally. But then when I've experienced it with my boyfriend when we're in our on-the-job training it comes out bad. I can't work efficiently specially when we have some misunderstanding. I'm a jealous type of person, because of this when we have quarrel I easily get jealous with people who accompany him. I feel bitter. I don't know why.

ya its bad idea having relation ship in office....few powplw can handle it but ya mostly it produce dessaster only...many offices here in my country are trying to avoid suc a things... but frankly when we fall in love it happen naturaly...i mean it just happen ..many time we just didnt notice it..dat bonds turning romantic...dats the real problem..wht u gonna do if u got huge crush on some one...on ur office met?r u gonna leave dat office..so u cud have afair? :D

For better or worse, having a romantic relationship with an office mate would affect work. I have seen this happen when I was working for someone else. In many similar situations the male's productivity falls unless the female can put her weight behind his back. Losing efficiency as a result of fights is quite common and the situation is worse when one of them holds a higher position. It was for this reason I kept a platonic relationship with female colleagues.

My boyfriend and I came into the company together, they new we were in a relationship but I guess our resumes surpassed that (that was a joke haha) anyway, I think it's cool that we're together in the same company. No regrets or whatever. When we have our fights, we set them aside during work - it's tough during lunch time though haha but we're keeping the "professionalism" to the maximum :) Thanks for the comment on my discussion!

You can't really avoid having relationships with your officemates. The best thing you do is work professionally. If you have problems, deal with them when you're not in the office so that your work shouldn't be affected...

it's ok to fall inlove but we have to consider the pros and cons of falling inlove with your office mate. and if you think you can manage it, go ahead and spread love but if not you have to know how to resolve whatever issues you encounter with your partner.

some says it affects office work when there is officemate as relations.but it has also helped sometimes in work.but I have seen many office mates are in relation.

I have heard that there are other employers that discourage this to happen in their office. Some are encouraging that when someone in the office gets intimate one has to leave to avoid problems like what you have just described in your situation. But then I am just lucky that my employer is not like that. I married an office mate but then we experienced the problem you are encountering right now productivity is affected when personal problems does occur. In the end, she decided to work in another job and I remained here in the office. Our relationship is still going on but the problem we encounter at home is best avoided at work when we are not working in the same office.

i think having romantic relationships in the workplace aren't a healthy avenue for lovers.i think the only advantage of that is you get to see that person everyday.but don't you think,you will eventually get sick and tired of being with that person for almost 24/7? and when you have fights or worse,you'll end up in break up,you can't escape the reality that no matter how you avoid that person,you will still have to see him/her daily in the office.it would be like a torture in your part because instead of moving on by forgetting that person,you'll only get to reminisce all of your moments together everytime you see him/her.therefore,we must at least try to avoid this.lol. happy mylotting!

I feel that the converse is true. You just cannot avoid the confrontations arising as a result. For example, if while working, you get promoted first or got better incentive than your offce mate, he is iable to be jealous and behave in a manner which may be insulting for you in another situation like his picking on you for talking and laughing with another office mates, for example. So, it is beat to maintain a healthy distyance, which is the essence of novelty and breathing space essential for the success of good relationships.

I think avoiding having a relationship with an office mate is a good "rule" to have to begin with. Some offices actually prohibit office relationships.
