Would you be cool knowing your SO works with someone they slept with?

I saw an article on sex in the workplace and it made me think of this. I haven’t been in a situation like this, but I’m curious what you guys think?

I couldn't very well expect him to quit his job because of a past sexual encounter. I might be a little nervous at first, but I'd get over it once I realized their current relationship was a casual work relationship. If there was still heavy flirting and/or massive texting and communicating that wasn't work related, it might be a different story.

I have never asked a gf who they had sex with, I dont even ask about ex boyfriends. If she worked with an ex or a person she slept with then I wouldnt have a problem with it.

If we weighed the pros and cons and it was possible for him to advance his career and get a new job while getting out of that weird environment, then yeah, I would absolutely want my guy to work somewhere he wouldn't see someone he slept with.

It seems like its more common these days to see coworkers dating or sleeping with one another and not working out. Either accept it or move on.

[Sanesoul]

It depends on the circumstances. In the past I have worked with men I slept with before, while with my husband. He didn't have a problem with it because he is friends with them.

 

I wouldn't have a problem with it for my husband either. It would be so far in the past now that it doesn't matter.

 

If it were a recent sexual encounter, then I wouldn't like it.

I probably wouldn't like it, but I'll have to adjust.

 

My bf and I met at the workplace, and he knew about a fling I had with someone a few years back. The other guy didn't know that I was dating my bf, so he spoke to him like he was one of the boys. The bf on the other hand, was not too happy with him but kept it diplomatic.

I would have a problem if they cheated on me with that person in the past.

 

My boyfriend lived one floor above his ex in his building last year. It didn't bother me because he didn't interact with her and gave me no reason to doubt that he was over her.

So for the most part, no paranoia? Say your SO has to work late or shows up home late unexpectedly. You'd have zero thoughts of it?

I don't think so. Unless I genuinely felt and had evidence that something was still between them, it wouldn't bother me. At least, I don't think it would because I've never been put in this situation.

I personally dont know all (just some) of the girls that my bf has slept with BUT im sure we've been around some that i knew about and really didnt care ...its the past! if your bf wanted to be with any of these ppl he doesnt have to work with them for it to happen..

[itsallgrand]

In a relationship that I felt secure in, didn't care. Trusted him.

 

In one where I was feeling insecure (and turned out for good reason), it bothered the heck out of me and brought out a possessive side I didn't know I had!

 

So if it bothered me, I'd know now there is more to it than Ms. Coworker to worry about.

I wouldn't be a fan.
