I have seen a couple attorney-paralegal affairs and the paralegal is treated as expendable. I agree with that’s written above and looking at the comment from the guy who had the affair with the paralegal, looks like it’s not limited to what I saw. (Another lawyer) |

| Back in the 90s my future husband (before we met) was a paralegal and dated/slept with a young associate (female). I thought it was weird. I’m an attorney now and have never heard of this but I can see t happening in theory. Not common though. |

Eh, I know a male associate engaged to a female associate who got one of the legal secretaries pregnant. Also this was in-house but 2 male attorneys (1 who was married) were both fired for sleeping with a paralegal. |

Attorneys, doctors and nurses are notorious for sleeping around. |

There are just too many opportunities: overnight shifts, ready availability of call rooms, never ending stream of nubile young bodies, coworkers willing to look the other way because they’re also doing the same thing….. |

Overnight shifts are pretty rare for attorneys these days. Most attorneys on long projects nowadays work until 7 or 8, then go home, and continue to grind remotely until the work is done. Doctors / nurses. Well, you're at the jobsite. |

This. Post-Covid, the hours are still horrific but lawyers and bankers tend to take work home vs pull all nighters at the office or go into the office all day Saturday like they used to. |

There are times when I simpy find being in front of three screens at the office is easier than working at home. No dog; no kids; no broom that needs attention; no cake batter that needs cooking. But I cannot remember the last time I actually was in the office long enough to hear the trash dumpters on the ground level being emptied and the sun coming up. Maybe 10 years. And like you said, certainly before 'rona. |

What is your point? Please let me know. I was a super trophy wife plus had a career, while also being ultra supportive of his dreams. I’m 115lbs, ultra fit, took care of myself and the house to a tee. And this woman was the overweight sloppy drunk at the Christmas party that he made fun of on the way home. He had a mid-life crisis and needed his ego stroked because he had a fragile sense of self. and the first thing he said was that he felt insecure as a man. This is what you run from ladies. Sometimes you are on the wrong life path and the trash takes itself out. I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m the cool wife that drinks whisky with the guys, talks about cars/planes/boats, golfs, and awesome skier and snowboarder, scuba dive. And I have all the family money too so he don’t have to work slave firm hours. I’m not some lame housewife you go cheat on. He was the dork attorney that was insecure. Period. You have no point. All of my new men are better! Amen! |

I would fire any associate who made so many grammatical errors. |

Not exactly. Lawyers will hit on and sleep with paralegals. Will they date them seriously or marry them? No. |
