I am curious as to what people feel about office relationships? I work with someone that is having a relationship with another worker from a different office in a different city. Long distance relationship, yes. However, when he comes to town he comes in and works out of our office, sits in an office right outside her cube? Thoughts?

If he weren't having a relationship with anyone in your office and came in to town from his other office and sat in an office right outside her cube, would it matter?
No it wouldn't matter and yes they are both professional. I am asking opinions based on something that is being discussed. Wanted a general idea of how people took it. Thanks for your responses.
my company has a very relaxed dating policy. so i've seen plenty of couples work together (even a few married couples). for me, it all depends on the couple. i've worked with some couples that are so professional it took me a while before i even realized they were together. then i've seen other couples who like to make sure everyone knows. and everyone does, because they are constantly hanging out in the break room for each other's breaks, and taking time to flirt, and just generally being unproductive because they're together and seem to feel the need to follow one another around all day. those are the couples i can't stand.

If he worked for some other company and sashayed in and took over an office, I'd have a problem with that.
agreeed if you were just bringing your boyfriend in and he wasn't associated with your company that would be odd. Typically when people come in and work out of our office it is because they have business to attend in our office, is it odd that there is no business to attend other than being close to the person?

What does he do while he's in the office? Does he work on the computer, type out stuff, or just play Free Cell? Do you even know? Don't you like to be close to people you like? If the two are acting professionally, I see no problem that he chooses an office near her.
Is the bone of contention that he sits "too close" to her?
My opinion would be it's not my business and I wouldn't discuss it with anyone who wanted to gossip about it in the office.
Unless it interfers with work, I don't have a problem and it still really wouldn't be my business.
They are surely not the first dating couple in the office, they surely won't be the last.
There are many husbands/wives that run and work in businesses together.
He is also working, remotely while visiting. The problem being discussed is, is it professional? If you have clearance from your boss to work from home while on vacation wouldn't it suffice to work from her home, while she go in to work. If you weren't in the same company you wouldn't go in with her so why do it at all?
