It’s normal for feel mildly threatened in these circumstances. Women in the workplace are often still deferential and enjoy being caring and somewhat maternal to their male superiors. Ask yourself how many trays of holiday cookies are given to male doctors/dentists, etc. by female patients(of all ages) versus those received by female practitioners by patients of either gender. We all intuitively know that many workplaces recreate patriarchal families where the siblings compete for Daddy’s approval. Learn to let it go unless you see evidence of philandering- jealousy always weakens your position. [/quote]

That’s the solution! OP starts calling them his Work Daughters. That will creep him right out.[/quote]

The reason these relationships seem threatening is because we give them weird names. The word for a person you like, who knows some personal things about you is a "friend" in any other context. OP's husband has two "work friends."[/quote]
