There is this one reporter that I am developing huge feelings for. We're not allowed to date at our workplace of course, but I would regret it forever if I didn't tell him how I felt. What would you do in this situation?

Never get your honey where you make your money. Everybody works so closely together so sometimes you can get feelings for someone in the workplace. However, remember that that policy is in place as a protection not a hinderance. What happens if you act on those feelings and he takes advantage of that? Displays possessiveness towards you in the workplace or in some cases reports you for trying to talk to him on a romantic level. It is best to find someone else outside of your workplace. All the best.

Thanks for your advice. I see that it makes sense. It's just so hard to walk around with a heavy heart full of feelings.

Only time I've seen it work out was between two people I'll call Trent and Nadine. Nadine and Trent worked together Trent was Nadine's manager and her boss. Eventually they started dating but in secret and did eventually welcome their first of 2 children they are still very much together and happy but they got lucky.

It did work out Trent and Nadine are still together the kids are grown one has moved out on her own and is studying abroad in New Zealand and one is back living with them at their townhouse after trying remote university life. Both girls. Great kids.

follow your heart, but be wise and sleep on it.

I know one couple in the business who dated. They got married and are still together, but this isn’t always the way it will happen. You want to also consider that if you guys don’t work out and have a breakup, you have to still see this person at work after that and this could become very emotionally taxing, causing your workplace to become a very uncomfortable place for you all because of this one person. The idea of dating this person may seem beautiful at first but again if you breakup, you will not like it at all.

You are absolutely right

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
