HR retaliates at employee's boyfriend under the guise of them breaking the rules, girlfriend suggests she's jealous: 'It's pretty evident she no longer likes me'

Romantic relationships and the workplace tend to work best if it's on television and your names are Jim and Pam. For everyone else, it's usually a rocky road. There is so much that can go wrong if you date somebody that you work with. It might seem like a good idea in the beginning, but what if everyone else finds out and starts to treat you differently? What if you break up and still have to see each other every day? What if one of you holds a higher position than the other, and now you have to be careful about power dynamics? 

These are just a few examples of the array of things that could go south when you start a romantic relationship with a coworker. But that doesn't stop everyone. Sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants and you just have to say "screw it" and figure it out later.
