[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP, IME the "work spouse" phenomenon is for two people who work closely together as equals and are also platonic friends outside of work.  It is just a way to say you are colleagues and also friends.  It is NOT for people at different levels--does she work for him? can't tell, but if so, I'd consider his using this phrase sexual harassment.  Agree with PPs that this is not as normal as he wants you to think. [/quote]

ITA. Collegaues on equal footing within a professional relationship is one thing. This is crossing a line, even if nothing is happening it has the appearance of improper professional conduct.[/quote]

ITA too. All of my work husbands over the years have been peers. Because we work so closely together, our rhythms in the office and in travel often gel. Nothing inappropriate between me and any of them. We definitely go out for drinks, etc. with groups. I don't "serve" them in any way. Sometimes we help each other out - like all good colleagues do.[/quote]
