Romance in the Workplace
I work with my ex boyfriend and was with him off and on for 18 months. He was the love of my life. I left a 15 year marriage for him. I did everything right. I did the best I could do but it was never enough. Now he is seeing a new coworker and has asked her to marry him just bye knowing here for only 4 mouths. I hate going to work and seeing them together. He’s always rubbing it in my face. I believe the only reason he is doing this is to hurt me. I don’t deserve this, but this is my fate, and I have to live with it. Whoever reads this letter please, what ever you do, don’t go out with a co worker least you end up like me - a very cold empty shell always longing for the one I can’t have. - forever may
I'm a 40 old woman who was in a 2 year relationship with a 26 old woman colleague who dumped me because her born again Christian parents would never approve and she didn’t want to hurt them but was in a new relationship less than a week later with a man not bad enough I was left with deep feelings for her but I now have to endure seeing her everyday and hearing gossip about the new bow. - mesosad
Just when you think it will be safe & hassle free because you both are in relationship and that it's nothing more than a "fling", it still somehow manages to get messy. Working together along w/ sleeping together creates involuntary feelings. Someone winds up catching feelings and attitudes when they hear a comment re your relationship w/ your significant other, even though they knew before they got involved with you the situation for what it is. My advice to everyone out there that may be thinking about it... Don’t!!!!! - appiphany
I thought this was an excellent article. My boyfriend and I work together; that is how we met. We work for my father's construction company; a small company. It has a lot of advantages for the business and the relationship. It all depends on how you manage the business versus the relationship. My boyfriend is very serious when it comes to his job and the business. I tend to be more laid back and put the relationship before the business. However, together as a team, we are a vital asset to the business.
Hi, I’ve loved one person at my job for 20 months now. I deeply did every thing from my heart, whatever I can to show him that I love him. I asked him one time “Can I speak with you?” He said no. This guy is very tough person. I know when I look him, he is looking at me, but what he has in heart, I don’t know, because one day he said that he would report me. He called me a fag. I listen but I don’t react to him. Also, he said bad words to me many times. I remain quiet because I love him. I guess know he realizes that I love him because when he said bad words, I never react to him. But we just look deeply eye to eye at each other sometimes. I’m dreaming of him always, but I never try to talk because I don’t want to lose the job.
Bravo Brian! Great article! You are so right about dating co-workers. DON'T DO IT!
I think it is a difficult situation to date someone you work with or even have feelings for someone you work with. Well here is my situation, I'm not exactly dating someone that I work with, but I do have feelings for someone that I work with, and it just so happens that he is my boss. I'm not 100% for sure that he is gay, but I do think that he is curious about the gay thing. I have been working for this company for almost two years, I know my boss prior from working their, because he used to be married to my second cousin. About two months after I started working there, he asked me if I wanted to go out to eat, and of course I said sure, that's where it all started, just to let you know, I am 28 and he is 38, but damn he looks good for being 38, anyway, he got me into liking wine and a lot of other nice things in life, we hang out quite a bit together, and let me tell you, everyone at work thinks we are sleeping together! He takes me out to eat at really nice restaurants and always pays the bill, I'm talking five star restaurants, which cost anywhere from $100 to $500 for two people. None of my other straight friends do that for me. I really do like the guy and it isn't all the things he does for me why I like him. I'm just really attracted to him. This has been going on for quite some time, and I'm not really sure what to do next, I really don't want to jeopardize my job, because he does pay me well. I know this isn't an advice column, but do you have any! Thanks so much - Brett
