Read what I wrote. It has nothing to do with working together. The problem is lack of communication. could be said about literally any failing relationship? the meetcute at work is notoriously a fools errand because it pressurizes conflicts, allows for virtually no separation of work/life, involves everyone you work with in your personal business, and when you break up one of you either has to leave or you both have to suffer hanging around your ex Exactly my point. Communication and shared ”rules” are absolutley key to any healthy relationship. And I totally agree that working together with your significant other is probably not ideal for some people. But I don’t agree that it’s a rule that applies to everyone. But I’m a fuckin euro so what do I know.

I would imagine working all day with your s/o would be infinitely worse than those that demand a lunch time phone call (which is also fuckin awful) What do you even talk about when you get home? my old coworker would do this. they were both slobs and probably could not land another partner if they ever divorced, so better to not rock the cradle i guess

Dating coworkers is obviously dumb, but i dunno it’s board. You also got people who think shacking up with their partner at age 19 was a smart thing that smart people do.

My wife has a catering business and I helped her out a few times for bigger events before I was essentially fired which rocks because I’m no longer asked to help out

Any form of baby talk as an adult should have you institutionalized.

Doesn't matter. Do things in your life that will make the bug people ask you why you did it. Make all the bad decisions. Move halfway across the world for someone you've never met. Abandon all your friends. Live in an RV with them. Get a job near where they live and then quit it when you get bored of living there. Go work food service jobs in rural towns with them. Move in an abandoned mansion with them full of broken windows where bats fly around at night. Risk everything and lose it. Try to get them fired on your way out. Rebuild everything to do it all over again. Why not

Look, dating my 40 year old coworker probably wasn’t the brightest idea in hindsight, but it does depend on the people to make it work(at least for the time being) over anything. We would basically act like strangers at work & would try to come into the office on opposing days(hybrid job). You have to create so much distance at work it’s like you don’t even work together. Us being coworkers is not why we broke up lol

You only lose if you can't handle the risk.

I'm just making an observation! Catching up from yesterday. This is the same line my father in law uses after he mentions how many black people he saw at Publix today.

I used to shit where I eat constantly and it eventually just became easier when I lost interest to make them hate me and break things off so they would feel like they had to tip-toe around me and not the other way around. It would just be little things like telling them how bad smoking is for them all day long and playing dumb with a lot of shit to where it seemed like I never listened. Being a sociopath fucking rocks.

It took about seven or eight different times and nearly losing everything I've acquired in life in the process, but I finally learned the lesson, yeah.
