Hi. I would ask for sincere answer on thing which troubles me.

My girlfriend and I are coworkers. We know each other for almost 10 years but we are together for one year and half by now. We love each other and each moment with her is so nice. But she behaves strangely at job when she sees me. She is somewhat embarassed when someone sees us together although now everybody knows about us. One instance, I came into her office, two other people also there, and she ignored me for minute, worked on computer without looking at me. Next we parted at the bussines parking (we don't live together). She drives with other coworkers. She sad "By", not even properly looking to me, just jumped into the car and thats it. There are more examples and she says that she is proffessional. I don't talk about fraternizing at job, what is not OK, or ven hugging... but she could at least look at me. It must be strange for everyone else how we behave.

I personnaly, could never do that. It would seem like some kind of betrayal of our relationship.Thank you for your answer!

Your girlfriend is just trying to be professional and make sure that the relationship doesn't interfere with your jobs. Many times when people start dating and they work together then things can become complicated. Even though everyone knows that you two are dating, she also wants everyone to know that her personal life will not interfere with the job being done. I'm not sure why she doesn't look at you or anything like that but I'm sure you are just reading too much into it. As long as everything is good outside of work then I wouldn't be too concerned with it. I've worked with married couples and boyfriend and girlfriends before and trust me it can become very annoying to everyone else in the office. Try talking to her about the situation and see what she says. Good Luck!
