Ethical considerations are your own concern and bear in mind you can be dropped from a contract or not renewed for any reason they can think of so you might never know.
I was once seeing a fellow contractor on one contract. Perm 'team leader' suspected and told her if he thought people on the team were going out he would look to get them out of the place (bit jealous and carrying a torch apparently) he apologised for that one but he also announced in a team meet when the real manager was on hols that he thought the team should work in silence - We were laughing our heads off till we realised he was actually serious...
That aside, main trouble came when relationship went sour, she told me I HAD to get a job somewhere else as she had been there longer - yeah right. Not a pleasant time....
Moved onto a couple of permies in the same building but big place so easy to avoid when necessary !
Bear in mind she will likely be looking for you to bin wifey and move in regardless of what she says now, especially when her mates get stuck into her and will likely increase pressure and take steps outside your control etc.
Very few are going to be happy playing 'hide the sausage' for a long time while you pop back home every week. Still, good luck with it all...

Lord Flasheart: All right men, let's do-oo-oo it! The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite like you treat your woman!
Lieutenant George: How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean, do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?
Lord Flasheart: No, I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back.
Captain Blackadder: I'm beginning to see why the suffragette movement want the vote.
Lord Flasheart: Hey! Any girl who wants to chain herself to *my* railings and suffer a jet movement gets *my* vote!

Got my ex-wife by that route, lost my fortunes, inevitably, but if anyone knows any millionaire octogenarians, I'm all ears (or any other body parts, including incontipants, that would help)...Last edited by hyperD; 1 April 2012, 22:14.

The Mr Men books are about the average reading level on here and I know MF still struggles with the longer words in Mr Tickle (such as tickle).

At a greenfield clientco many many years ago which consisted of setting up a very new call centre and hiring mostly pretty young ladies(I was young at the time as well). One of my colleagues who was setting up the telephony system(and who was a smooth devil) would prowl the call centre for a prospective shag. Once identified he would tell them that he was trying out some new software/upgrades, that sort of crap and that he needed her to tell him about anything different/slow/quirky etc.
He was a smooth good looking bastard, very well turned out and a little posh & I am afraid a number fell for his charm in this way and the offer of a 'would you like to come up with me in the plane(he was having lessons). That hotel bedpost became quite notched. I on the other hand got stuck with one girl who eventually convinced herself she was the reincarnation of Princess Diana. I do pick 'em.

Place I worked before, the client manager for the parent company was doing the secretary of the IT director of the subsidiary co. IT director could never work out why everyone knew of his decisions and ideas before he told anyone.
I was 'friends' with a permmie o the same contract and no one was bothered, except her hubby, who was a developer. Used to love failing his code in testing and secretly thinking 'i've had your wife' at meetings
