Employee invites boyfriend to her work trip and asks him to cover the expenses until she gets reimbursed, only to refuse to pay him back: ‘You promised to repay me and didn't’

They say to never mix your personal life with your work life, but you never know to what extent this statement goes until you experience it firsthand.

Obviously, most people assume this saying applies to when you consider working with your friends and family, to which the advice is – don't. Even if you and your partner came up with the most brilliant idea for a business, working together is not recommended. Don't date your coworker, don't hire your sister, mixing work and family can only lead to the destruction of either your personal or your work life.

But that leads to the question – just how far should one keep the separation between the two? Can your partner meet your coworkers? Should people at work know anything about your personal life? How much of what happens at work should you tell your parents?

While different people may have different answers to these questions, maybe after reading the story below, we would all agree that you should keep the separation as extensive as possible. Keep scrolling to find out why.

Money is a big factor in why relationships and work do not mix, and the couple in this story would definitely agree. Especially after the boyfriend found out his girlfriend lied to him about her work trip, just so that she wouldn't have to pay him back for the money he spent on it.

Fiancé lied and spent all of the money she was reimbursed for after her work trip that I paid for. AITAH?
