Working with your partner is a unique situation that not many couples find themselves in. More often than not, if couples do work together, it's because they met at work. Much like living with your partner, things can get a little awkward if you split while you're working at the same place. Luckily, this is not a story of that. This is much, much more sinister.
A couple who worked together (and told HR that they are a couple before they got hired) at a research clinic requested unpaid time off for their wedding. After their wedding, they came back to the clinic just to get chewed out by their boss for "abandoning their jobs" and not telling him that they were a couple. He asked them to turn in their keycards, which is the kiss of death in firings. Worse than that, it looks like this might be a retaliation firing since the husband had recently put in a complaint about a supervisor mocking his disability. All around, this story is an absolute mess, and nobody deserves to spend their honeymoon phase like this.
