Jim and Pam – The Office

Their love story: Jim and Pam are the poster children for both office romances and unrequited-turned-requited love. Pam was the receptionist at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Inc. When we first met her and Jim, she was engaged to another man, and Jim spent his time pining for her in the cutest, most gentlemanly of ways.

Pam’s fiance turned out to be the world’s biggest jerk, so Jim and Pam shippers didn’t feel one bit guilty when their engagement broke up. The progression of their relationship took its own sweet time, but it was well worth the wait, to say the least.

Did they or didn’t they: Boy, did they. Not only did Jim and Pam wind up together, but they got married and had some kids. Their relationship became the gold standard by which we should measure all (fake) relationships.

As a couple, they are respectful and supportive, and it always seemed like they were in it together. You can’t ask for a sweeter, more functional couple than Jim and Pam. Heck, their relationship even survived working together, and that’s no small feat. They probably have their shared sense of humor and their mutual love for torturing co-workers to thank for the stability and longevity of their relationship.

How to watch it unfold: Their relationship took time and many seasons to fully come to fruition. I don’t have to tell some of you this, but The Office runs, in its entirety, on Peacock.
