Well I hope you're all a happy, cosy little team now at work. Until he starts looking around for another replacement again.
But hey, as long as your family wasn't ripped apart, you go ahead and "blast away".

I'm pretty certain, actually 100% certain I had no involvement in their relationship but thanks for the question!

And yes I accepted a wedding invite for a couple who were getting married second time around, omg how awful of me

Doubt it was "a blast" for his innocent (ex) wife.

Interesting one, I think if the couple are senior enough in a business then a blind eye is turned maybe?

My boss (f) head of service, she had an affair with a director, it was known in the team.
However you would never know otherwise, you didn't catch them up to anything and they were totally 100% professional in the office, just arrived and left together.
Director left his wife for her in the end. We all went to the wedding and had a blast, she had a lot of energy and was a laugh to be around so I could see the attraction.

However its not something I would do, feels far to risky and HR love to be seen to do the right thing.

Why would getting a ring tattooed on your finger be too close to home??
What would you do if someone happens to look at you??
She doesn’t have to wear a ring.
I don’t wear a ring, I hate wearing jewellery…and watches. Not that it’s relevant, just saying.

Don't shit on your own doorstep!
Answer no! Don't do it!
I have had that look a few times, no, I didn't and won't!
I know people who have had sex with their colleagues and they are still mates. I really couldn't!

I had an office based affair 30 years ago. It was a fantastic 12 months. We never carried on in the office, I was married she was single and every night I would take her home and we had a great time. It came to a natural end and I eventually left the company onto pastures new. I think things have changed over the past 30 years so might be more difficult these days.

Having an ‘office ‘ affair is no one else business but the people involved make it everyone’s problem…not by announcing it but by their behaviour..
They have no respect for their colleagues and this causes favouritism and makes the ‘air’ difficult to work in…plus staff are constantly walking on egg shells because if the wives/husbands call then they have to make excuses to the whereabouts of the ‘persons’ involved…therefore expecting the staff to ‘lie’ for you is bad practice..
In my organisation it has been ‘rife’ in the past but management get involved now and it is severely dealt with and so it should be…why does anyone need to exposed to all that negativity at work….plus too much fooling around means ZERO PRODUCTIVITY..

You could also find yourself in a sexual harassment case and being the ‘office bike ‘ isn’t a great label ..
