Aawww, don't be that way, lovely. Maybe if people cared more about their personal relationships, the world would be a better place. Love just isn't found in families. And it's not a given that you'll even experience love within your family (which is the foundation from which maladaptivity grows.
) The best romantic partnerships are generally built on a strong foundation of friendship. Friendship is important. Honestly, I think all this negativity regarding workplace relationships is a reflection of today's workplace and time. My parents, aunts and uncles always had work friends around when I was younger.
All that being said...I still agree with the overall point of the thread that you shouldn't look for friends at work. It's sad all the same.
