Have you ever been in love with one of your colleague or co-worker? Does your relationship affects your work? Is it good to have someone at work?

Hi Care,
Yes. My former boss is now my husband. we became good friends and partners at work and was inspired to move up to the highest level of being on. and we were able to establish a healthy boy-girl relationship then. until we decided to get married. the relationship did not affect our work. it even made the working relationship smooth, facile, effective and successful. we were able to manage the challenges of our relationship at work maturely. we tried to be onjective and we did.

It is cute to have relationship with a co-worker, it seems like everyday of work is a date-day between both of you, it will inspire you to be better in your job and make you feel very confident each moment... but that was just a start, but when time goes by and jealousy beginning to comeup and some other things that you both disagree about, your work will supper but all in all this is just a sweet ticket to an early retirement to your job.

i was into a relationship with my officemate before. it feels good because you always have him at your side and you could always have someone to cheer you up despite a very busy day. the problem is that when the relationship is pout into test, it also affects our work as we cannot concentrate working. i think it will help somehow. it will inspire you and make you sad sometimes.

I think it's better not to get involve with anyone when we are at work. When you have someone special at work, you will feel difficult to concentrate at work and cause your job performance to dropped down. Although i ever came across a few colleagues who likes me and interested to be my special one, i never accept their relationships. I prefer to maintain them as my colleagues. I think it's not wise to develop serious relationship while we are working.

Well, thankfully, this worked out for me. I went out with a colleague before. I know the trouble it can have in the work environment, but the thing is with our relationship is that we started out as friends. It's really funny because we didn't even like each other that much, and we had a different circle of friends. I didn't really feel his friends, although they were trying to get me to join them when they went out. And then when our team was cut down, we didn't have anyone to hang out with but ourselves. To top it off, we took the same ride home, except I'd get dropped off before he did. After spending all that time together, we eventually got together, and by that time, we had confirmed what people were suspecting: that we actually had a relationship.
I guess it worked out because we were buddies before we got together, and we still respect each other's privacies and wishes and space, I guess. We were in one team so we basically hung out with the same people, got invited to the same parties. We would spend our time with our colleagues when we were at the office, and when we were alone, that's the only time we really consume ourselves with each other.
Now we're married and have a beautiful, intelligent baby girl.
So I'd say, yeah, it is good to have someone at work! :D

Thank goodness I never been in love with anyone from work but, I had someone who used to court me and showed some interest. But I really don't prefer having a relationship or romantic involvement with anyone at my office. I'm not against it but, I don't just want to mess-up my work with my personal relationship. And as you know, it could be a hindrance to one's performance and worse people at work might talk about you everyday which a total nightmare for me.
Happy Lotting!

it s never good to have a special someone at work. it ll ruin your concentration and therefore your work. i try to act as professional as possible when im at work although i liked someone. i never thought of going further than professional relationships.
