We settle for our wives and girlfriends and when a more attractive personality presents itself and if both parties take the next step, we try to look the other way. The problem is that when both men and women work in close proximity, there is bound to be issues.

Problems occur when either parties are looking for a way to get ahead or are disappointed with turn of events.

It is probably more appropriate if corporations have a simple policy - if you are having an affair, the senior of the two must quit or get fired if not disclosed immediately (within 5 days), else, we should all look the other way.
