Do you think people that are in a relationship should/shouldn't work together?

Many people say that you shouldnt really work the same place as your spouse or person you are in relationship with..Many also say it's possible.. I would think that there would be the temptation to jealousy for either .if they see the partner apparently flirting or spending too much time with other.

I think its's really good if a couple works together. But some people say that if you work together it will get boring because you will be seeing each other every minute of everyday. have you heard the saying " time apart makes the heart grow fonder?" Well i think that should answer your question.=)

It would be one thing if the people started the business together as partners, but if a couple met at the office and got romantically involved after, that would be a challenge. My fiance has a saying and that is to "never crap where you eat." Office romances rarely ever work. The balance would be too off. What if your spouse was your boss, or got promoted and you didn't?

For me its better that me and my partner should not work together specially there will be problems if the spouse is a bit pocessive. I saw some people with such cases fail their relationship and its very painful that one has to quit it after that. But ther are some people who work peacfully together, instead making their relationship greater/stronger. Anyway it depends on person to person.

Should not, that will bring resentment among others.

I agree. No offense to hubby, but I totally can't stand it when he's around me all day! I love the man dearly, but he wants to be with me much more than I feel comfortable with. I work from home and care for our son during the day, and when DH is sick, he's in my hair all the time. He doesn't even have to be talking to me. Just knowing he's around gets me off balance, because I hear him typing, playing games, watching tv, cooking, or what have you. Although I think some couples can run a business together, etc, generally I think it's a bad idea for spouses/partners to work together. How can you leave work problems at work, when you go home with a coworker? Eek! I couldn't deal with that in a relationship. In fact, I don't even like it when DH writes, too, because writing is "my" industry, and computers are "his." If we have two totally separate jobs, then there can be no competition, know what I mean?
