Hi again, hopelesslycharmed,
If your company has a PR person, talk to them. Maybe someone higher up, even your boss, could pull the girl aside and say, “It’s hurting company moral to wear/flaunt articles of clothing like that. There have been some complaints. Please keep company relationships discreet.” Or whatever it is they say. A little bit of higher up shaming/warning/direction might do it. They are getting off on teasing you, and feel like they can get away with it. But if they are sternly-yet-gently talked to that “Hey guys, what you’re doing is kind of obvious, please cut it out” ~ that might give you some relief.
You could as a last resort, pull each of them aside INDIVIDUALLY (thus reducing their power by half in each interaction) and say, “What you’re doing is really tacky, please knock it off.”
It may not feel like it, but your boss is more interested in keeping YOU happy than in a work-couple’s happiness. That’s why, in SOME/MOST companies, they have rules about this. Otherwise, everyone will be living in a high-school environment. No company wants that.
Good Luck,
Inky
