Who here met their future spouse at work?

Iracema, on March 2, 2015 at 5:54 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 24

Our story is a little different than your normal love story so here goes all in a nutshell. I started working as a payroll administrator for a pipe manufacturing company in which I was there for 5 years. I ended up getting pregnant with my second daughter and I found out that my ex husband was having an affair for the past 3 years and got his affair partner pregnant at the same time I was. (His son and our daughter are only 5 months apart) I ended up quitting my job because I was offered a better paying position and I was able to work from home doing the same. So, I ended up being a single mother of two for a 5 year old and a newborn, managed to leave my loser of an ex husband and got divorced almost immediately, sold our home etc... I took time for myself and my daughters.... Now fast forward two years after I left my work I ran into my FH in sushi we exchanged numbers and the rest is history! He asked me to take a chance on him and I'm glad I did!! We are blending families happily...

    I did. And still do work with FH. Practically in the same department. (1/2 of the day, sometimes more, depending on if it is busy) it has its perks but also downfalls, people that don't know us when we are fighting think we are just a couple of jerks that hate each other. Luckily that doesn't happen often anymore! lol

    That is funny. We don't work together anymore obviously but he still works for the same company we met at. I go in there often still chit chat with my ex co workers and ex boss. They all think its great we are getting married.

    FH and I still work together. He was my direct report when we started dating. We had him moved off my team and went to HR to let them know about it... There are over 1000 employees in the building so it's not like it was a small office. Lol. Turns out one of his ex's also worked there, and tried to stir up drama. He was kinda a player - who changed his ways to impress me, I laugh all the time how I revoked his player card...

    I seriously think it would be so much fun to work together. I would always give him such a hard time when it came to his time cards and employee's pay that the poor guy would always send in someone else to do his dirty work so I wouldn't yell at him. LOL

    Lol. FH was a great employee when he was on my team, he wanted to make me look good... Now he slacks which is irritating to me...

    I do! We still work together. I was at my job first for 3 years before he started. It's been 4 years of being together and working together. We have a small office too (about 60 employees).

    I did! I work in the office and he was working in security at the time. He doesn't work here anymore, but that's probably for the best Smiley smile I love him, but need some alone time!

    I did. Its funny because we went to the same middle school, same high school, and it wasn't until I started working at Stater Bros. that I met him. We were amazed because he lived 4 streets away from me and we never even saw each other. We became best friends and now Here we are 10 years later... engaged :-)

    I did too! When I met him I was dating someone else. Fast forward 3 months, broke up with my ex and my FH asks me out on a date. When he said let's go dancing for our first date I knew this guy was special. All of my exes hated to go dancing! We have been dancing ever since…8 years later!!

    Yes, we met at work. About 2 years after we started dating, I left the company where we met for a job at a company around the corner. A year after that, I found him a job at my new company, so we work together again, though not as closely as we did at the first company.

    We both worked at Buffalo Wild Wings. I was a hostess and he a waiter. He used to trade sections of tables with other servers so he could have the section closest to my stand. Which lost him a lot of money since no one wanted to sit up by the door.

    We Did! He was the web designer and I just got the job as the receptionist. Within a week we were talking and a week later had our first date! We worked together for almost 3 years and seriously disrupted the old fashion company that never had anyone inter-office date before haha. He is still working with them and I have moved to another job! My sister now works at the same company, so the family connection runs strong! It was meant to be Smiley smile

    We did! We both worked at a golf course. I was a bartender & he worked in the proshop. Every time he was working I made a point to go over there for some reason. He barely initiated conversation in the beginning but then he caught on. He's a shy one.

    We did! I'm a Speech Pathologist and he's a Special Education teacher and we worked in the same classroom together as co-teachers for 2 years. We don't work together in the same classroom now, but we work right next door to each other, lol! Smiley smile
