How did you meet your spouse?
- Thread starter abo
- Start date
Just got a question for those meeting their spouses at work, whatever happened to that saying "don't crap where you eat" or something along those lines?
Personally...it's not for me, even during my 15yrs on civvie street, refused to hook up with anyone from work. I have seen situations turn sour for folks when things went belly up

Eye In The Sky said:I met her back in high school, but it wasn't until last spring that we "bumped into each other" again on Facebook that we started to get to know each other...one thing lead to another...now we call Fall River NS home and life has never been better! I had to go thru ALOT of evil step-sisters (the last one was the worse!!!!!!!) but I finally found the one the glass slipper fits...
Sunset wedding this June on the beach back home...
A facebook wedding....how sweet. You two should get facebook to cover some of your cost by being the poster couple for them, just a thought

You are, generally, correct.
However - consider that for most folks (CF and civilian alike), work is where the majority of social interaction (aside from family interaction) takes place. It would follow, then, that work is where many relationships start.

The army is a big office to work out of, and there are alot more women in then before ( not that it should matter). However I have had a personal rule, you dont f*ck the people you work with figuratively or literally. However you can narrow that down to your Chain of Command or peers. Inf Bn's have medics, Clerks, maintainers in them that effectively should be outside of your chain of command. ( I still dont recommend it though as if the relationship doesnt work it can lead to bad things not to mention rhumours or being taken serious if you are at all permiscuous) However they can have and do work..
As you move up the chain of command though you are effectively limiting your social dating pool ( or should ) an A MWO CWO or even a lowley WO could have a conflict of interest if they are part of the chain of command. Unfortunately there are examples out there that I AM NOT GOING INTO of this. There are specific DAOD's that are there to deal with those situations.
We are all adults here and although I may not agree with the no frat rule it is a rule on deployment and I will uphold it.

Got you beat, I had to deal with an investigation over this in our unit. also DAOD 7021-1 conflict of interest comes into play and if you look into the bottom of each one you will see that the Public service code ( that we are held to as well ) has a code of ethics on the subject as well. It is a interesting read and one that not many are fully informed of.

Met my wife in '88 at a dance at RRMC. She was visiting a friend who was attending and I had just had all 4 wisdom teeth removed the day before. Fortunately, I did not swell up at all; but did play the sympathy card a little bit (turns out chicks dig scars no matter where they are located - jk). We have been married 19 years now and are so committed that just last week we had wedding bands tattooed on our hands.

Summer job... I was working in a big warehouse full of men.
Towards the end of the summer I decided to invite this nice guy on a date... it was exactly five years ago. And we are now both starting a career in the CF at the same time... many challenges to come :blotto:

I have seen a few couples recently break it off with their civi spouses to get involved with co-workers... simply put... more things in common, and they are more understanding on the frequent training and courses....
