Met at work, married, worked together for 8 years (same department but management kept us at opposite ends of the floor). Coming up on our 21st wedding anniversary

Basic rule for success: keep your two worlds separate. If you have a squabble at home, put on your professional face and treat one another like respected coworkers when you punch in. Whatever stress happens at work, leave it there.

I've had a couple. The last one, I married. We always behaved when we were at work together...I think it was after a year or so that I quit and went to work at a job closer to home, just because the commute was too long for me.

Yes, I have - and no, it didn't. I should have listened to the midnight ramblings and seen the skunk stripes that were right in front of my eyes...oh well ....another valuable lesson learned!

Yes I have....three times.

First was just sex and nothing else. It never really evolved into anything else.

Second turned into a 4 year relationship.....we ended up as just friends

the current one turned out to be my soulmate and we have been together for almost three years and also work together.

True story...I once dated a man from work who told me not to tell anyone because he was "misunderstood" and people liked to gossip. So I kept quiet for a few months until one day the person next to me started joking about her "secret" boyfriend. I prodded her and guess what? Same boyfriend...she laughed and I cried and we both later found out he was dating...not two, but ten women in our company....thin, fat, no teeth, black, white, old, young, didn't matter.

Major NPD sociopath.....he moved on to ruin some more women's lives at another company...5 children by 4 women...a couple are bankrupt because he convinced them to finance expensive motorcycles and then left them. We also found out (with solid proof) that he is bisexual leaning toward homosexual.

Many of us have become friends in the ordeal. We are all waiting for him to die so that we can either go on Oprah or write a book, lol.

This guy and my ex-husband both ruined men for me. I'd rather be alone. If I ever do find a great guy to share my life, I hope he doesn't mind a criminal background check and a candid talk with all of his ex's.

Default Yes.

I would say that most affairs start at the workplace.

I am currently involved with a guy at work, different building, different department... we texted everyday and every evening.

He's married so the only time we can get together is during the day.

I also got involved I think one more time at work... that was a fling with a much younger guy.

That probably takes the boredom out of the office work
