I really don't like the idea of having my boyfriend in the same office as me. Maybe if we have different departments and the company is big, then I'll be okay, but if we work on the same unit. I don't think it's healthy. Cause what if we fight, or we break up, it's just going to be one big office gossip, and it would be really hard to work. Sometimes it can even push you to resign or him to resign if you just really want to stay away from each other..

I totally agree. A little space also enhances the relationship. Imagine being together all day (assuming that both of you are in the same department), and without having much to say together outside the office because you both are too updated with each others' experiences.

That is so true! you cannot talk about anything anymore, because you see each other every single day and you are together for most of the day..

I would prefer not to work on the same place. Having space in a relationship is very important so that you have time to breath and not to be burn out on the relationship.

To be honest, I would love it. I work comission and I do very well with it, but some times I am so busy that I just can't keep up with everything at the office and hiring a new employee I would not like because I would have to give them a wage. but if Amanda worked with me, we could both work hard and have a combined salary where all of the money comes back into our family.

My fiancee and I were in the same company, even in the same department and team, nearly six years ago. It's where we first met. He's still working in that same company, and even got promoted, while I left after 2 years and pursued a different career. At first, it was a little hard. Even though our relationship's an open book, we still couldn't avoid issues, like jealousy, somehow even competitions, that led to one argument after the other. It lasted for a little over a year, which I believe was the period of adjustment. After that, everything went well in the office until I decided to take on a new challenge in a different line of business.

We both work in same office. Its a happy part coz she is always with me 24 hours. Am so lucky isn't it? This is not boring tina. We talk more about work at office and at home about our love.

Personally I wish i could have that opportunity. however I think that after some time we might get bored of seeing each other 24hours a day. After all meeting with our husband/wife after a day's work apart from each other has its advantages as well as you would be more looking forward to be together then.

I don't really like it that my boyfriend works in the same office as me. I want him to do something different. When we are back home, we can share what happened in our respective working place. But if we work in the same office, we have nothing to share except those boring gossips that have already been told numerous time during working hours. Another important point is we won't lose jobs together if we are in different working place.

i feel very good, me & my partner worked together from last 2 year, in a same department. we never feel boring. we are spend most time daily. but from last 2 months my partner got transfered in other branch. whenever we were fight, we start the cool war and break all communication. only talk at the time of work, our cool war never interfare in our work. on the time of work we are every time behave normal. so almost i have a good experience done work with my partner

Actually that situation happened to me. We met at the office and got together even while we were at the same workplace, even in the same room. It has its advantages like you're there to comfort each other when one feels stressed, but it also has its disadvantages, especially when you had an argument or something like that. I think what's important is that you remain professional in terms of work, observe proper work ethics (don't be too cuddly with each other). I think one of the good things about our "office romance" is that our boss and everyone else were okay with it, and we told ourselves that there should be a balance and we should observe professionalism always while in the office.

i prefer if my bf is not from the same office coz i will only get distracted all the time thinking that he might watching me all the time. its like i cant move completely or i only have limited move if his there. so i still prefer my bf to work in different office to avoid any problem due to work.

Tried this once with my ex and it turned out alright. It didn't affect both of our work since we were too busy with our deadlines. Although we ate lunch together and went home together that was only the time we spend our time together in the office. We rarely approach each other when it was during office hours. The only hard thing to face when your in a relationship with someone in your office is when you break up. You get to see that person almost everyday.

The discussion wasn't really boring. If I find out that me and my partner are working with the same office, I wouldn't take it negatively. He should make sure that he won't be disturbing me whenever I'm at work or else, I'll be force to transfer to another office... LOL

thats really one of my dream.. I am in a LDR and dont often see my girlfriend. Working together will really give me quality time to be with her and that will really benefit me in the time I missed her. This can be really be a cool Idea. I would love to have my girl working along me in the office!

I think I can not work in the same office with my boyfriend. I always separate work with my life,because I am a girl who used to be affected easily. I can't concentrate on my work if my lover stay with me.
