Advice needed: Husband + Wife at work

How to deal with husband (CEO) and wife work dynamic where boundaries are being crossed.

Many feathers in the company are getting ruffled and several complaints have been made to me. Any advice would be useful!

    ooo been there, done that. I was the EA to the President, who was married to the CFO and was basically HR. I'd do something the President's way and get chewed out by the CFO. And vice versa. Lather, rinse, repeat. To be honest I finally picked one to be my ally (the CFO) and it kept the Pres off my back until I left a couple months later.

    Heard through the grapevine recently that they divorced, the CFO left the company, and the Pres had to downsize a LOT.

    I don't recommend that tactic, but it saved my sanity. :)
