Are you curious if office affairs are more prevalent in small towns? The answer may surprise you.
It turns out that office affairs can happen anywhere, regardless of the size of the town or city. The risk is always present. When people are working in close proximity, there is risk. The greater the emotional intensity of the work, the greater the risk of an affair developing. (Cheaters often confuse intensity with intimacy).
However, there is a key difference. In small towns, there is less anonymity, meaning that news of an affair spreads faster.
Even church offices are not immune from these scandals. I once witnessed a shocking incident in a small town church when a naked woman entered the pastor’s office. Fortunately, the pastor fled before anything happened or their reputations were tarnished. Whether it was drugs, lust or mental health issues driving the action remains unanswered. These kinds of incidents happen even in small towns.
From my research, it’s clear that affair danger exists in all types of offices, including medical, legal, and school environments. Even law enforcement offices are not immune. Any office relationship that has a power difference between people makes it a higher risk for an affair happening.
Don’t be fooled by the illusion of professionalism – affairs can happen to anyone. In fact, the higher the money and power, the greater the risk.
Large offices have their own set of challenges, with more people in close proximity.
