How many of you have relationship/affair at workplace?


First word of advice- don't. It's not worth it. The break up is not smooth and creates for a very awkward work environment. It's just not professional, but I recognize these things do happen. Just didn't think it'll happen to me.
First one was with a close friend from years ago. She's so cute and funny. She approached me at work wanting to "reconnect"- was very possessive of me in the workplace even though she knew I am married. I dropped my guard because we already had a trusting friendship from before. She started asking me for help on little things, inviting me to coffee at her cube; we'd go on walks together and she'd ask me to pick her flowers from the gardens. Then things got personal- buying each other gifts, supporting her when she was struggling and doing fun things together. It felt really good and I fell in love with her. I knew we were not really friends anymore, so I ended it after two years of a very intense and emotional affair. She was devastated and requested an immediate transfer. The workplace is very awkward now.
Second one, I learned my lesson from the first. She had the same approach as my friend. Met her while taking the same transportation to/from work. Flirty, asking me to lunch with her, giving me gifts and food. She is married. I professionally and politely told her to stay the hell away from me. She got the message...
Yeah I did back in my restaurant days, she was a waitress and I was the sous chef
It ended when she went to university a few months later but we are still friends and she supports me since she helped me combat my solvents habit

When I was 19, I started having sex with a 21-year-old coworker. We got married two years later and have been married for 34 years. So yeah, it works. Was it an affair? No. Just two coworkers dating.
My ex-wife and I worked at the same company. We started dating, got married and had 3 kids, before getting divorced after 20+ years of marriage.
My wife and I worked at the same company for a couple of years. Actually it was pretty nice.
Nope. I've had a few flirtatious coworkers who I happily avoid like the plague.
I have twice in my lifetime.
Was it coworker or boss?
