IDK. I’ve been married to a former coworker for 25 years and things are going okay.

Work is a huge part of people’s lives and where adults tend to meet new people. I understand why you’d say it, but I just don’t think disqualifying anyone you work with as a potential partner is practical or even a great idea.

ON THE OTHER HAND… I did move to another state with a woman I worked with and that ended after just a couple of months when she started seeing another coworker.

So maybe you have a point.
