Agreed. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it play out exactly as you described. It’s never a good idea.
We technically violated the UCMJ article against the fraternization with other commissioned officers of a different rank. My wife out ranked me for about six months until I was promoted.
We both had the same boss who counseled us against the relationship. But then we got married and he attended our wedding. Things were a little more relaxed back then it seemed.
49 years later we are still happily married.
Don't dip your pen in company ink.
“Please keep in mind that homosexuals and other similar deviants lead the way when it comes to domestic violence/attacks.”
The only person who I know personally who was murdered was a gay guy that I worked reasonably closely with (killed, then had his home lit up with his body inside). In his case, I didn’t even know he was gay (he didn’t look it, talk it, or dress it, and was a super-nice guy) until the police, after a year of no luck finding the killer, put out word that he went to gay bars. And he wasn’t the only one (at least one other that my relative knew, but not me).
There’s a nasty violence streak they have that you don’t want to get near and the media, for obvious reasons, will never report on.
Not at all lesbians and gay men have these issues a lot. Especially where they predominant social services and health care
A seven. Pretty good to look at?
5 being average.
No wonder people are lonely today. There is no reality to their expectations.
Forty years ago we said don’t fish in the company pool.
I remember in 1980 one of the managers, where I worked (a major defense contractor), telling me to, “Check out the one I just hired.” I did, and we were married 5 years later.
It is unless she wants you to.
How would you know unless you ask?
What, you can't read a woman's mind? What's wrong with you? /s
How modern of you.
If liking a member of the opposite sex in a way that could lead to a future together, and wanting to explore same, has been reduced to "thinking with your gonads", then our people have no future.
No.
They want to eliminate our future children, and thereby eliminate us.
Best to focus on gender and race. ;-)
Seems to me that they are just trying to ruin the “happy hunting grounds” for the younger fellas. How are these young guys supposed to learn all about how some woman will ruin their life?
Anytime you put men and women together, romance is inevitable (even today). The Office is no different.
Obviously some Office romances DO have a happy ending. But on average, it’s probably not the smart thing to do. Same thing goes with dating a customer, or someone who works for a customer. There are enough people there that office romances should be avoided—but it’s impossible to stop them.
“ they got married, have a family and been together 25 years”.
My parents also met at work and stayed married till my fathers death. But once they got married one was required to quit (early 1950’s). However, becoming involved with a co-worker is not a good idea anymore.
They want to eliminate our future children, and thereby eliminate us.

By killing everything except gay hook-up sites, that’s pretty much the ticket.
No woman is worth... Okay!... Maybe Karen Steele, Natasha Henstridge, Rebecca Romijn... Okay! Some of them are worth the trouble. DAMNIT!
In this era, engaging in office romances is the surest way to bring trouble. What happens when that romance hits the skids?
The best and smartest way to interact with females in the workplace is at an absolute minimum, employing the maximum of cold professionalism at all times. Never, ever find yourself in a situation in which you’re alone with one. Always have the door open and ensure you’re in view and earshot of potential witnesses.
The office romance is a no-go zone nowadays. Engage at your own peril.
What's good is good. It doesn't change.
The fact is that now 90% or more of non-family opposite sex contact occurs in the work environment.
If you care about people forming families and having children (as opposed to, as one poster put it, "thinking with their gonads"), then this new pattern of meeting potential spouses has to be accommodated.
