OFFICE ROMANCE: SURVIVE AFTER

So much has already been said about office romances that there seems to be nothing to add. We all know that only 10% of such relationships end in a happy marriage, but for some reason we continue to search for the one and only in our team. Passion flared up, a feeling of love appeared, and hope glimmers in the eyes, and the question sounds in my head: “What if?".

Novels at work are fastened quite often. They also often run out. Today we will try to answer a few questions that concern you:

• why does the relationship break up?

• how to live and work further with this person?

The psychology of the relationship of a man to a female colleague differs radically from the female view of informal official relations. We will tell you about the conclusions made by psychologists.

1 Men in their essence are boys who have a lot of unrealized erotic fantasies in their heads, and one of the most striking is sex on the desktop. Therefore, having received what they want, many try to break off relationships or keep them only to satisfy their passion. In women, sexual dreams are much less common, most of them are romantic in nature: hugged, kissed, carried in his arms to bed, called, came, looked and hugged again …

2 Just as bachelors do not like encroachments on their freedom, married women do not want to let female colleagues into their lives. The female half of the population, on the other hand, subconsciously seeks a logical conclusion in relationships – to get married or find a physically and financially wealthy lover. 

3 Work, and also interesting, beloved and profitable, is more important for most men than the most charming and attractive employee, all the more dreaming to lure him. So in the event of the development or rupture of relations, men are mainly worried about their “warm” workplace. According to social polls, 80% of women are ready to give up a successful career for the sake of a beloved or, on the contrary, unloved man. 

4 Men practically do not care about gossip at work, the novel is perceived by them as a love victory. But women take gossip to heart. Surprisingly, much more men are condemned and pitied for an office romance of women.

Most often, these reasons are the root of the problem of breaking up relationships and ending an office romance. Tears, tantrums, declaring war and falling into depression will not help here. You just need to believe that negative emotions bring not only mental suffering, but also very great benefits: your thoughts are activated, problems are gradually solved, and intense work can heal you from unrequited love.
