We've never had office romances that worked out where I work. They ALL ended badly. Most ended in the guy getting fired for harassment or sexual harassment whether he did anything wrong or not. Even had a couple of cases where the woman did way worse than the guy and/or egged the guy on until she got something she could get him fired for. One she talked him into sending the dick pic that got him fired. There was another where she sent texts that were way worse than his, yet his texts got him fired for inappropriate behavior and she didn't.

We did have one couple that did get married. They were told one or the other had to leave the company. No married couples are allowed to both work for the company. She left and they still ended up getting divorced a few years later. The no married partners rule saved the company any work related repercussions.

Have seen a few small companies where the wife was the husband/owner's secretary that did well. But the wife/secretary knew what she was doing and HE officially made all the decisions. Have seen others where it was obvious the wife was just given the position and had no idea what was going on yet still tried to make decisions AND that was a real problem.

Our company rule was set by the founder. His idea was if a wife ever worked her way to a position where she was supervisor or manager over the husband it would ruin their relationship. He did not want his company to be any part of that. He allowed spouses to both be share holders but not both hold positions within the company.
