Working with your SO can be tricky... whether it's in a corporate environment or even say, a small business like a blog. 
Have you ever worked with your SO - or would you work with them? How did it go (or how do you think it would go)?

We've never worked together, and don't plan to!
My parents have worked together in the past when my dad had his own business, and now that he has a regular job, my mom joins him there too!
They are extremely attached, and have been so their whole lives.
-
I don't think we could. We have never worked together. We get along great at home but we have different working styles. We're good working for different companies.
-
I met my husband at work (he was my direct boss) but we didn't start dating until years after I left the company. I loved working with him at the time, but I don't think it would work well anymore. Because I'm the boss now! haha (jk, kind of)
-
Nope! I think one day in the future we definitely will though
-
I haven't nor would I ever! Hubs is SO bossy!
-
i'm with the above posts - never worked with him and i KNOW we wouldn't work well together. i don't think i'd take his orders well and he'd be frustrated with me if i didn't take his orders well. lol.

My hubby and I met at work. We both work in the technology dept, but we do different things so we don't actually work with each other very often. When we do, it's hard for me to remember that we're in a professional environment, instead of talking to him like I do at home.
I actually enjoy working at the same company with him - there are a lot of perks. We can go to lunch together every day and have some time alone, which I know we will cherish once our daughter is born.
-
We met at work. DH and I were both in the same squadron. We never worked in the same Dept. Well at first we did but I barely knew him then. Then once I got out and started working for the Navy as a civilian, I got a job where we would be sharing an office. LOL the ONLY civilian that works in this particular office. Once I started working, not long after his command switched him to a different dept. However, that lasted a year and now he works in my dept again but picked a different office to work out of but still works with me.
-
I don't know if I could ever work with DH. We just have very different styles.
But then again, my dad owns his own business and my mom has always done all the bookkeeping for the business and it works great for them.
-
No, we've never been in the same field. We do hope to come up with a business for our family one day, though. As tricky as it would be, I would love to work with him since we have a similar work ethic and we are both crazy organized.
-
I haven't, and I don't want to.
My parents have worked together forever. My dad's a doctor and my mom's his office manager. Oddly they still seem like they never see each other. He's in the back and she's up front.
-
My husband and I met at work. We didn't get along at first and then, eventually became friends, and then started dating. I think it's better we don't work together anymore.
-
Yup, my husband and I worked together before dating.
Right now, I don't think I could work with him.
Maybe later if he starts his own business.
-
We might! Hubs' job will have an opening in about a month, and if I'm still having some issues with my job, I'll apply. He's the one who does the main interviews, but would obviously have his boss sit in on this one
-
We work together now, and I enjoy it a lot. We're together 80% of the time.
-
We met in a workshop held for an international project. We didn't begin dating until a good few years later. It's prohibited to work in the same department, you have to declare it to HR.
-
My husband is a writer and I'm an executive. He's had a couple of projects here, and it was more awkward than anything. It's funny because if anything I was harder on him than most people. The one thing I refused to do was deal with his contract, that seemed really wrong to deal with money negotiations.
-
We've never officially worked together, but occasionally we have found ways to do work-related collaborative projects together. Our fields are so different though (me=scientist, him=architect/designer) that it ends up being really fun b/c we can combine our our skills in interesting ways.
-
We work together. It's my husbands business and I just sort of help out. It's not in my field, but it's sort of fun. It's nice to have a flexible schedule and spend lots of time together. I'd say we're totally abnormal in that we spend like 99% of our time together and still say "I'll miss you" when we're going to be apart from each other, even for a short period of time.
-
We work together. Honestly, it's not ideal. I hate talking so much shop at home, and it would be nice to have a bit more separation, career-wise. But, it was a necessity where we are now.
-
I worked with my high school boyfriend at Subway for a year or so. I was his boss. It was pretty fun.
-
DH and I work for the same insurance company but always for different departments/lines of business. I actually referred him for his first job there!!
-
Yep!
We met at my first job out of college at a private mutual fund company. He was in management and broke the rules and we had to date "secretly." It went well because we didn't work together 1 on 1 and we were just getting to know each other. DH and I have plans of opening a small business together on the side; but I don't think either of us would enjoy working together in the Corporate world.
-
Yes! we met at work, actually. We were in parallel positions in a small department (so, working closely together, sharing a supervisor). We work really well together. I ended up leaving that position for a different opportunity about 9 months after we started dating, but a big reason i was sad to do it, was because I knew I would miss working with him. I still do miss it, although my opportunity was worth it for other reasons. If we had an opportunity to work together again, we totally would.
-
Does working in a guild count? My husband and I used to play World of Warcraft together quite frequently and were in the same guild. I was the Guild Leader and he was the Raid Leader. We fought ALL THE TIME. So I quit playing, and our married life drastically improved!
I'd never work with him again.
-
We are working on a project together now. It's the only time we squabble, but despite our frustrations, we make a great team.
-
DH and I met at work- he was a direct superior like some PPs:) We dont' work together anymore but we never had a problem when working together. The only thing that was even slightly "difficult" was we didn't have a WHOLE lot to talk about once we got home- we worked in an office of about 15 people so we both knew what had heppened with the other throughout the day.
I imagine when I'm a SAHM I'll work for him again and help him generate more business.
