would you guys prefer to work with your loved ones? for example you and your boyfriend is with the same company...Is it ok for you guys to work along together and after work u'll be seeing again at home? isn't tiring to be together every minute and second of the day?

Yes, i would not like to work wiht my loved ones in the same company. If not, our topic for everyday will be same arround. becasue both of us are dealing with same thing. Sometimes, some colleague with stay from both of us and this make the realtionship with other colleague is not that well. If sometihing happen between us, like quarrel, and not talk to each others in working place, all the colleague will know about this. if both of us living togather, it will be more bored becasue we will be seing again at home. Although it will be sweet at the beginning, but the realtionship will become bored and no more exciting element in the realtionship. the feeling of thinking the lover and wanna see him as soon as possible will reduce. this kind of love is hard to last long.

why not? i think its really a advantage to work with your loved one. But there are some pros and copns as well. I have seen that your other team members always don't take the bond with your loved one in good manner. Certain problems arise there also. But i would like to work.It has so many advantages.

it is not that we don't want to have bonding with my loved ones but the consequences wherein for instance problem arises from your company..both of you might get affected...i'd love to be with my loved ones but not to the point that our relationship will be suffering because of problems we might encounter in the office.

I prefer for my partner and I to have different careers and work separately. I don't know why I'm like that, even with my sisters and brothers I don't like to take the same courses that they take. Maybe I want to avoid being compared because when we were small other people always compare us in terms of looks and attitude. Maybe it affected my decisions regarding careers and workplaces. I'm close to them but when it comes to this matter, I prefer to keep some distance.

I used to work together with my boyfriend in a fastfood restaurant and in our case, it was no problem. I actually enjoyed working with him because whenever i feel tired, seeing him or being with him gives me the energy i need. Plus, he finds ways or time to take care of me while at work like cooking meals for me. We both managed to make it a good setup because we know the difference between personal and working relationship. Once we are on duty, we dont talk or do things in a personal way but in a professional way. We know our boundaries and limits whenever we are at work.

Nice to hear that! well, you have to consider a lot of things working with your loved ones because there are times that you guys have a fight and you can't just ignore it just like that and sometimes your work might get affected. Sometimes it happened but with your case..you said that its doing well working with him. That's Good! thanks for the feedback.

I strongly agree to what you have said...It is the comparison your avoiding...it would be nice if you will give each other a space and miss each other once in a while.Thanks for the feedback.

And the good thing about it is that you'll be missing each other if you guys are in with different company. The thrill itself is such a nice idea right??? Keep it up. Thanks for the feedback.
