Not every workplace affair gets to be a Pam and Jim love story!

Someone from HR happened to walk in, and things got super awkward.

You were both quietly reprimanded, but no one was fired.

It just became painfully embarrassing seeing either person around the office after the incident.

You eventually heard that the boss was caught and fired, and he left his wife for the assistant.

You began working later and later to avoid your partner and to spend extra time with your work crush.

They were fired for getting involved with a subordinate, and you had to come clean to your partner.

You ended up leaving your relationship and pursuing your former team lead, who you married two years later.

You wish you had gone about it differently, but everything ultimately worked out for you in the end.
