[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a work husband (who calls me his work wife) but it's not as if I'm his assistant. We have completely different jobs and are just sort of .... good friends at work. We do go to lunch together sometimes.

But our spouses have met, our kids have met, we let them use our apartment when they went to NYC, they pass down their daughters clothes to our girls, etc. Our families have become friends.

I'm not making copies for him or fetching his coffee. Although one time I did show him how to use a Tide Pen. [/quote]

This.  My work husband is a colleague that I go to for advice or to steal a diet coke.  We text rude commentary during boring meetings.  Our families vacation together, I make plans with his wife, his son comes to the movies with our DDs, etc.  If it was just he and I, it would be a slippery slope and also open for all sorts of speculation in the workplace.  Plus I'm pretty sure both our spouses would be unhappy with that arrangement.[/quote]
