Would it bother you to work in the same workplace with your spouse?

[hannah]

[osmanthus]

I don't think so. There are married couples who work together, either because they co-own a small business or other arrangement. It might become problematic if both spouses are of a similar position of authority or expertise as some competitiveness and stresses of working so closely together can occur which can pour into their home life, that is, if they live together, as well.

[osmanthus]

The only other problem might be that if one spouse causes trouble or trouble finds one or both of them then that could get both spouses fired.

[osmanthus]

So, in that sense, if both spouses are employees and the company knows this could magnify potential problems of issues related to professionalism in the workplace, then it's a risk that both might get fired and be out of work.

[osmanthus]

Some people are willing to take the risk and one spouse temporarily works at the same workplace with the same company until they end the employment contract and find a different employer or other situation. It's doable but it's risky if both are employees.

I did for a couple of years. She was a physical therapist and I managed the computer system. We did not interact much but one day I was working on the system at our pharmacy and my wife called and wanted to order a cane for a patient. The pharmacy lady said it was my wife on the phone so I asked her to give me the phone. I pretended to take the order and then I asked her if it was left handed or right handed. She didint know what t0o say so I started laughing.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[DrPepper12]

HELL YES! I can't imagine a multiverse where that would ever occur! That being said, at my high school, there were five couples that worked together and met there. We always ask them how they do it because asking how their day was is almost ridiculous. I just couldn't do it. No way.

[Crimsyjo]

I met my (now ex) hubby at work. We worked together 12 years. When we broke up I was on different shifts as we had a child then so our schedule was made so one of us could stay home. I then had to leave that job cos he started turning up drunk or stoned to look after our daughter and so i couldn't go work.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

that sucks :/

[Dinklex3]

Nah.

My boyfriend and I used to work together and it was great. We weren’t always on the same shifts, but it was nice having access to the unit and dropping off lunch/dinner/snacks.

[Jackjjackson]

“Access to the unit” lol 😂

[Dinklex3]

@Jackjjackson That’s what its called 😅
You need a badge and the code to enter

[Elliegirl]

I don’t think I would like it especially since we’re both lawyers, it can be a pretty competitive field, and we’re both competitive people. But once he gets his private practice off the ground, I might consider working with him in the same office just in different areas of law to diversify. D&E, or our surname & surname, (it’s the same, I took his name), PLLC Attorneys at Law. D&E some bds a more legitimate than Daniel and Elizabeth

[Elliegirl]

*sounds more legitimate

[Ms_Facesitter]

A little. He's a wonderful person but I'm scared of breakups. For some reason some people turn into monsters after a break up and I don't know why they do that. Thinking about something like that and you can't escape it, because you have to show up to work sounds like a nightmare. He's not a draining person at all. It's just that "What If", you know?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Why they do that? I'm sure you have an idea lol

[Ms_Facesitter]

@Maybe_Maybe_not I don't know. People break up and suddenly they turn into little children playing games to hurt one another.

[DOMINANT12]

I (Mr. stand on female) Stand on ur uglyface, u degenerate. go seek some Spiritual, mental, emotional and moral help. u need it. u fool, u perverted idiot.

[DOMINANT12]

All u say is what u r, if u reply to MY 1st statement. if u say anything racist, ponder the racaist slurs against ur ethnicity.

[DOMINANT12]

I (Mr. Stand on women face) stand on ur ugly face, u degenerate. go seek some Spiritual, mental, emotional, and moral help, u and other so called females /things need it.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@Ms_Facesitter disregarding the guy suddenly getting mad for no reason, proving your point in a way😆

On a more serious note, we are all capable of the worst when being hurt in a special way, when the wrong button has been pushed. A lifetime can be lived without triggering this button though, but I believe this button exists inside us all. That moment where the deepest layer of vulnerability we have is being hit. Because I believe in psychology

[Ms_Facesitter]

@Maybe_Maybe_not I understand that, after all you leave yourself vulnerable by letting someone in your life so the chance to get hurt increases. Like after committing so much time in a relationship, the person broken up with might feel almost betrayed, not knowing what to do with those overwhelming emotions. A heat of the moment kind of thing?

But also, I don't know even if it works out. Even if the relationship works out, what if I have to scold him for screwing up at work? Or I made a mistake and he has to clean up after me? Would we be able to stay professional? Would we be able to leave work at the workspace and not take it back home? Things like that.

[SeriouslyNotSerious]

If I have one and we're in the same workplace, yes it will bother me. Because we'll see each other all the time.. no mystery anymore. Maybe we won't miss each other anymore.. 👀😂 Unless we're working on different floors.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Divorce makes this question awkward BUT I don't think it would bother me? While she is probably exacting in a work context, I know she's also fair. That being said she is running a solo business lol

[ManInChains]

Never going to have a spouse but yes it would bother me because I would catch them cheating constantly. And it would ruin my work day and make work difficult to focus on

[WhitneySnow]

No but I wouldn’t want to work directly side by side with them all day

[Ladsin2]

Don't have one, also doubt she'd be willing to crawl through sewage on the regular... If she worked in dispatch or something though that could work.

[Mac-One]

We were able to do that for a few years and it was a great situation for us.

[Tim2nice]

It wouldn’t bother me but it might bother her if woman chat me up

[Effie1997]

No bad idea I tend to flirt with customers as bartender mostly for tips. seen what happens when people work together after a break up.

[DrewJohnson]

My wife and I have worked at the same company and location for over 5 years. We love it!

[NplFet]

I've done this and for the most part it is okay. Although, I am a firm believer in time apart.

[Jpie555]

Yes, absolutely!! Too much togetherness during Covid is what led to my divorce 😞

[Jackjjackson]

I would dislike it. There is the concept of too much of a good thing lol.

[NathanDavis]

not at all, no

[Nikki1989]

No, I would love it.

[ChillNsweet32]

100% I like & need my space

[AGAM1]

No not at all I would love it

[SoJust]

No, I don't mind, continue

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If only we work alone then fine.

[seviyorummm]

Yes, it bothers me a lot, but I'm not married.

[SunnyRS]

I don't think it should but I can't be sure yet.

[LazerMan]

Depends what job is

[NIPB1234]

No I would honestly like it more

[Abdullah_Sheikh]

As a matter of fact, I would love it

[paledreams]

Potentially yes.

[jojouzumaki]

Yes it would for me.

[DtMe89]

Yeahhhh

[jahaims]

Nope

[chocolatetwopointo]

nahh

[eagle1951]
