Working full time and being single isn’t easy. It’s hard to find the time to date and finding a date in the first place can be even harder. That’s why it’s so easy to fall for a colleague.
Here’s why that office romance you’re considering may not be such a good idea:
You see each other every day
If things go well and you decide to move in together, you’ll not only see your partner every single morning and night, you’ll see them all day as well. You can’t escape them. Ever.
If you have a fight, you won’t have the luxury of spending a few hours apart during the day to cool off. You also won’t have anyone to talk to about your day, because they’ll already know everything that’s happened.
Office conflicts happen
In your personal life you want to support your partner and their decisions, but you can’t do this at work because you have to put the business first.
It can be incredibly difficult to tell the person you love that you don’t like their idea or that you prefer another approach.
Work follows you home
It’s incredibly hard to completely avoid the topic of work when you’re spending time with a colleague, even if that colleague is also your significant other.
Office politics, gossips and stress all come home with you at the end of the day, whether your partner works with you or not.
You could have a bad breakup
There’s no way to tell at the beginning whether it’s going to end in flames. You may think they’re your soulmate at first, but things could turn ugly very quickly.
It’s hard enough dealing with a breakup without having to face them every day. There’s no such thing as a clean break with an office romance.
And that’s not the worst of it. Your ex could turn nasty and spread malicious rumours about you or even sabotage your whole career.
