When the Love Story at the Office Ends With a Happy Ending

Have you ever considered the possibility of living a love story at the office? Probably yes! You spend every day with those people, you know each other and you know their taboos, and one morning you find yourself waking up with a smile on your face at the thought of seeing him/her! You've known him/her for so long, you spend so much time together, you get along so well… So why not try to take the relationship to another level?

Can there be a happy ending in office love stories? First of all, what drives you to want to experience such a story? Maybe you have known him/her for so long and so well, it seems to you that if you spend the whole day with him/her and you get along so well, nothing bad could come out if you try to form a couple…

Especially that you have a habit of drinking coffee for lunch together or a glass after work and you have so much fun together… And especially, you find it very exciting to try something like this, the fact that you would have only one secret, you would hide from others and steal a moment every day when you were just the two of you…

The thought of sex in the office, a forbidden place, can excite you and make you confuse simple sexual attraction with something else, much more intense…

Another incentive for a love story at the office is the fact that you have the same profession, the same basic training and knowledge, and very possibly the same hobbies.

Only when you think about what it's like to have a relationship with someone who has a radically different profession from yours and what it's like to spend hours listening to his boring and incomprehensible stories about his work and you feel like taking the world in your head! But you, you know everything about what the other person is doing, you could talk for hours about your work without getting bored, it's just the same!

Anything else to encourage you to try love at the office? You know his daily routine, you have formed the same taboos at the office: in the morning you drink a coffee sleepily and grumpy, at lunch, you eat a sandwich together, before the end of the program you send an e-mail, then go for a glass of "relaxation"… It seems that a day without him/her at the office would be a lost day… Then why not bring this story home too?

But there are several arguments against love stories in the office: first of all, you only know this facet of his personality, that of a funny co-worker! But how is he/she is a relationship you have no way of knowing and you may have the unpleasant surprise of discovering a completely different person, an irritating one, with annoying habits and ideas different from yours!

Worse, as in the case of friends who become lovers, over time you have heard many gossips about the love life of your colleague and it may happen that you still hear things that will bother you, such as: hey, what did you lose your night with again? Is it worth it or is it still a failed conquest? " And his / her joke answer that until now amused you to the core now will annoy you or even hurt you!

Another reason to say a resounding NO to love stories at the office: conflicts! And it's not about the two of you, it's about the inevitable conflicts that arise in an office: if, for example, he/she is penalized for certain problems, you will wake up in the middle - tell the truth and tell him/her do you give it away or take his side and lie?

An even worse situation is when you have an affair with your boss: what will you do, how will you react when he has to reprimand you or give you a penalty?

And love in the office with the boss is an even worse idea as you risk your entire reputation, for which you worked so hard! Don't be fooled, if this adventure lasts more than a few days, it will be! Trying to hide an adventure at the office is the same as trying to hide an irritation from the tip of your nose: it may take a while, but it's getting harder and harder!

That's until your "irritation" passes! So, inevitably, your colleagues will find out and how do you think they will react? Beating your back and congratulating you? By no means: you will hear conspiratorial whispers, you will be suddenly looked at with resentment and curiosity, you will become a stranger to those with whom you only gossiped a few days ago about your new lover!

The most important aspect of love stories at the office: what do you do when the breakup happens? Maybe it was an amicable and mutually agreed parting, but will that make your situation easier? No, you will still have to see him/her every day and pretend you don't even care, you will have to listen to the new gossip about who he/she went out with during the lunch break, you will have to laugh with the others and say some nonsense in your turn…

And if the breakup was ugly, maybe you thought it was love while he/she just wanted a sexy affair, then your situation can become unbearable! You will feel like an abandoned sucker, you will know that everyone has found out, you will face compassionate looks, and worst of all, you will have to pretend that in fact, everything is ok! But for you, nothing will be ok!

Is it worth risking all these things for a possible relationship, especially, is it worth risking the current friendship you have with your co-workers? Only you can decide!

Of course, maybe there are some love stories at the office with a happy ending, maybe the two will end up together forever and all their colleagues will be happy for them! But even so, professional life and love life should be and remain two separate realities! If you combine them, it can result in a soup that after a while will lose its aroma and taste!
