I have always wondered how couples that work together bear to stand
each other and stick it out day in and day out, with each other, every
single second of the day!

I work in the same company as my BF but in separate departments and we
never see each other in the office unless we specifically plan to meet
for lunch or coffee.

I’ve seen an older married couple working together very closely at a
previous job I had and it was slightly strange. It was weird to see
the boss treat his wife as any other employee and get mad at her, and
it was equally weird to see him being extra harsh on her because she
was his wife or being rude or dismissive towards her in a personal
rather than professional way.

For sometime, I thought it would have been cool to work with my future
partner and maybe open up a business together, but now that I’m older
and have a better taste of working life, I realize that is clearly a
horrible idea.

Here’s my advice to 20 somethings or 30 somethings, or women in
general is that if you can avoid it, DON’T get in business with your
husband or boyfriend!

Look at what happened to the Magnolia bakery girls – they were BFFs and then
broke up after going into business together.

A little separation in a relationship will only make the time spent
together more special, so keep work and love separate. That’s this
naive and inexperienced 20 something girl’s 2 cents.

This only works on TV! and NOT in reality.
