I love my wife and I greatly enjoy her company , but I would not like to work with her in the same place. As much as you love someone, people need their own space (and no I wouldn’t try to get her fired or convince her to quit, I would just quit and find somewhere else to work).

 

[cormack12]

No.

 

[p_xavier]

It's quite common in my workplace. Even the last CEO was married to one of the company's director. But no, I wouldn't enjoy it.

 

[Crayon]

I would love it. Being together is our favorite thing. I've even thought about getting into her new line of work.

We both work at laboratories, but she wants to leave that career to be a nail tech. Seems fun and I'd probably be pretty good at it.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Fuck no. I do this now and it's shit.

 

[Woggleman]

I love her dearly but no.

 

[TheZink]

I do and I love it. We have lunch together every day. Best part of my day.

 

[V1LÆM]

work time is my break away from her. so no thanks.

 

[Pagusas]

she's the best worker I know and would make a great coworker, but even still, we both need our space because I'm annoying as hell to deal with on a 24/7 basis. For the sake of our marriage its best she get a break from me.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I did. It was terrible. Truly terrible.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Nah I wouldn't want her interacting with my girlfriend.

 

[Jennings]

No, because I'm the type of employee that doesn't put up with bullshit and will voice my opinions without giving a crap about corporate politics. And while I'm fine making enemies, any significant other working at the same company would undoubtedly be miserable.

 

[IntentionalPun]

My wife works for me.

 

[jonnyp]

 

[Ammogeddon]

Hell no.

Definitely not the best, from experience.

The best as long as each one is in a different place.

It is the best and it helps you physically as well as emotionally and psychologically.

Each person needs to have their space.

 

[kanjobazooie]

My heart says yes. My mind says yes too.

 

[Lady Jane]

A quickie in the middle of the work day would be nice

 

[Pimpbaa]

I'm pretty sure I'd be thrown out of the strip club if I tried to dance on stage.

 

[jufonuk]

No

 

[Dr_Salt]

Nope

 

[nush]

No chance.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

My wife and I worked from home together for two years during the pandemic. Two different companies but kind of the same.

It was nice. We'd have lunch together every day. Never felt annoying being around each other all the time

 

[AJUMP23]

Nope.

But I know plenty of people that do.

 

[thefool]

I dated a couple of colleagues. It was always pretty chill.

 

[///PATRIOT]

We both work remotely and it's great.

Funny this topic was posted. I just thought of this very topic yesterday when I heard of the passing of Ivana Trump as I once heard an interesting comment about relationships from Donald Trump, of all people:

My big mistake with Ivana was taking her out of the role of wife and allowing her to run one of my casinos in Atlantic City, then the Plaza Hotel. The problem was, work was all she wanted to talk about. When I got home at night, rather than talking about the softer subjects of life, she wanted to tell me how well the Plaza was doing, or what a great day the casino had. I really appreciated all her efforts, but it was just too much. . . I will never again give a wife responsibility within my business. Ivana worked very hard, and I appreciated the effort, but I soon began to realize that I was married to a businessperson rather than a wife. -- Donald Trump

As the person who posted this quote years before he was President -- or even considered a "conservative" noted, put aside your feelings towards him, it's an interesting insight into relationships.

 

[Woody Nvincible]

I hope so. I'm leaving my job next year to become a real estate agent with her.

 

[teezzy]

I dated a co-manager once

Never again

 

[Ron Mexico]

Ex-wife and I worked for different departments of the same bank and it was miserable when we were married. Now my wife and I run a side business together which is a completely different dynamic.

It really depends on the nature/size/complexity of the work. I don't think it's empirically good or bad.

 

[haxan7]

I dodged a number of ladies I worked with who were lookin for some D.

 

[lachesis]

Love and work don't mix.
They are both wars, but should be on different fronts!

 

[Maiden Voyage]

My wife and I worked in the same office for years (we were together before then). You have to know how to shut off the work talk otherwise it can be consuming. We no longer work at the same place. I'm mostly indifferent about it. It is nice to have some separation but no more car pooling.

I've also dated some coworkers prior to meeting my now wife. Those all ended poorly.

I would say it all depends on your personalities and the relationship you have.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

I started dating my colleague at work and the atmosphere turned toxic against us with jealousy, pettiness, being deliberately kept apart, and snide remarks from numerous staff. I love her but I'm glad she no longer works with me.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Met her at work so meh. It probably helped we worked in separate buildings and didn't interact too much professionally. Just saw each other on the patio one day eating lunch...

 

[AlteredForms]

A wise man once said:

Never cross the streams!

 

[Neolombax]

I wouldnt mind it, I think. Would save me a trip to send and fetch her from work.

 

[Don Carlo]

No, or else we would gossip a lot haha

 

[AJUMP23]

I dated a co-manager once

Never again

At least it was at the same level and not up or down the chain.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Same office, no. Same organization? Yes. I worked from home through Covid and was able to spend way more time with my wife (my wife works virtually for her sister part time) as a result and we really liked it. Same thing with all the kids too, I miss spending more time with them

Frankly, we both kind of miss it (not the Covid part) and I’m working out a change to my work schedule to allow me to work from my home office more.

Vitamin supplements?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

We both currently work from home. Does that count?

 

[haxan7]

Vitamin supplements?

Yes, Vitamin Dick

 

[Nico_D]

I think that is the common reason why teenage love ends abruptly: they spend all their time together being afraid that if they separate even for a moment, their love mysteriously ends. Well, guess what.

So hell no. Seeing anyone 24/7 would drive me crazy.
