Preventing the Ever-Popular Work Affairs

Research shows that the majority of affairs happen in the work place. The feminist movement brought with it more women and men working together increasing the chances of entering dangerous relational waters.

The Happiness Project posted some tips on preventing work affairs that I thought I would share:

1. Never take a first step in flirtation, even in jest.

2. Never have more than one drink with people from work. If that.

3. Never confide details from my personal life to people from work, and don’t allow them to confide in me.

4. Never allow myself to have a “special friend” of the attractive sex (sometimes called a “work spouse”) to whom I turn for particular support. (This is sometimes called an “emotional affair.”)

5. Unless it’s an unmistakably professional context, don’t meet alone with a colleague or client of the attractive sex. E.g, when a client calls with tickets for the baseball game, don’t go in a twosome.

6. Imagine your spouse/partner as an audience – cc’d on the email, listening to the phone call, walking suddenly into the conference room. If you’d feel uncomfortable in that situation, you’ve crossed some line.

7. If you develop a close relationship with someone from the attractive sex at work, get to know his or her family. That puts a damper on starting an affair.

I think #6 is my favorite. Transparency is your relationship is powerful. If you aren't afraid for your partner to see your email, facebook interactions, or text conversations than you know your heart is in the right place.

Remember if you are unsettled about your relationship in any way, preventive steps (like counseling, using healthy communication tools, reading relationship books, committing to honesty, etc.) will save you a whole lot of heartache than looking for someone else to fill in those raw or lonely spaces.
