Intimate Relationship with Co-Worker

Really? the management will really terminate them? It's against the law right? Like is it wrong to fall in love??

Actually this happens to me. My current girlfriend is my co-worker. Our manager knew it. It was fine with him as long as our work will not be destructed by our relationship. I know that most of the companies don't allow this. Maybe our company is not really that strict. Fortunately, our work is not affected whenever we have a lover's quarrel. lol

It would really all depend on the woman involved. It would take a lot to get me to consider leaving a job because of a woman, but I would not totally rule out the possibility if I thought that I really had a chance at a future with her. I would probably ask HER to find another job instead, though, because that would be a good indication of how serious she was about our relationship…

I've always try not to be in an intimate relationship with co-workers because it does really disturb the concentration for the job but I'm not sure if I do really fall for someone at work. I would still avoid it because it's hard not to have a job and depending on other people's effort for living. Maybe it will be okay if the two of us are from different department. How about you by the way? Have a nice day

Having an intimate relationship with a co-worker is indeed unhealthy. Me? I have basis; if I love my job, I'll have to let go of my lover. But then if I can't live without him, I'll resign. Anyway, if he is really in love with me, he'll support me financially (kidding). It's a good thing I am married, so romantic relationship with a co-worker is a big no.

if it were me i would choose my job.my job came first before the relationship strarted to bloom in the work office. the point that im trying to make is that you can live without love because youre earning to eat,buy, travel etc. but what if you choose love?can love pay for your debt?food and transportation?the answerr is obviously not.if i were stuck in suck scenario i would just look for lovein all other places rather than my work place this way i can keep both,both my work and my love life.

Is it really forbidden for some companies to have relationships with your co workers? In my previous jobs, the company allowed its employees especially if they have met on the company and has not joined the company at the same time.

Thankfully no. I do not really think I believe an intimate relationship with a co-worker is very healthy. In fact, that is why me and my wife do not work in the same company as well. I think there is also sound financial sense in that as if the company gets into trouble, the other partner in other company can be useful. Cheers! Ram

Actually i would choose the job as i had been in this tough situation not with my co-worker but with my boss and it was real tough.Some people did suspected our relationship and to make them believe there is nothing between us we pretended to be angry with each other.He will always complain about my work and made me work even more harder and talk to me harshly in front of others, invited ex-girlfriend in office and due to this my work suffered and it literally became a mental torture.I knew we were just pretending but it created a environment negativity so i quit the job and that was a mistake. My cousin also fell in love with her co-worker but management found about it and transferred the boy to another place which was quite far so they couldn't meet on daily basis and even there week offs used to be on different day.The only solution was for one of them to quit the job eventually and my cousin did.Believe me its not as easy to find another job as it lookslike. So its better to avoid dating your office people.

Well, in this situation, either we both resign or one of us stays with the company, and I'd rather be the one who would resign. Call it chauvinistic, call it whatever, but I'd rather I be the one who goes through the hard work of finding a new job than the girl. So I guess I'd choose the relationship.

Oh yes it is. I had such a connection and then with my boss. but while he is married and our relationship and now we are just wonderful we decided in December not to mix these relationships because it is not useful. should seriously think about whether you want to continue a serious relationship with this person or just an entertainment. Think carefully and then decide. If you think that he is your man continue living with him. success. nice day!

well if it happens to me....ill find a new job if i really love the relationship....since you now have a inspiration to find a new job.... it is easy to find a new job but it is hard to find a good relationship.

I've never experience such kind. I am always trying to be on the safe side and I don't fall in love with co-workers. I know someone who was in this kind of forbidden relationship. It's really hard especially when the company has good benefits and salary. But I guess, if the two are sure about their feelings for each other and their relationship is already getting serious, they have to plan about it. Like start saving for their future. Coz one of them has to leave the company eventually. So they both need to start saving up some money. And later one can use the skills he/she got from the company and shift to another company. One who has a better position in the company should stay and one should leave.

I had this experience once. Nonetheless, it was not really a "love" that went between us but lust since that co-worker seduced me into falling for that co-worker. Subsequently, the motive appeared clearly that the worker just wants money from me. As soon as I realized that, I quit the job to distance myself from that co-worker without informing my action. I preferred that way, for me not to burden myself anymore.

I had previously in a relationship with my co-worker and it lasted about four years. Though we are not in the same place and we are in different department and rarely see each other in the office we still connected to each other in terms of work, and that is why we are getting to like each other. The company also prohibits the relationship in the work, though not in the same that terminated the employee who is committed in such relationship (I guess so?), but we, as in-love to each other we never see it that way. We fell in love, but we hide it to everyone only few are known that is who are very close to us. But as all say no secret are always keep, they found out, and asking me to when and how it will happen, i just face them and telling the decision and the person i choose is the right thing. And they let us to continue. And as like others relationship, After they found out and trying to survive in all trials we did not survive the relationship, and end up to separate ways. Though its not an easiest and good break up we had, but i am not regret having commit in that kind of relationship.
