[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a work spouse and emotional affair? I had a guy I worked with who I was able to talk about a lot of things with since we lived similar lives, relied on for completing work projects, and flirted in a fun way about office work and nothing else. He basically became a good friend that I was also attracted to but did nothing with. Isn't that kind of typical of men and women who work together and just naturally smile at an opposite sex who they enjoy and think is attractive? I don't know how you get around that if you are around attractive nice people.[/quote]

I think the issue is if you keep your friendship with this person a secret from your spouse and if it escalates to something physical; even if it's barely physical like passing out in a hotel room.[/quote]

I would never do that. So flirting about office stuff like you would with a good friend of the same sex with a person of the opposite sex that is nice and attractive isn't an emotional affair or a work spouse? Good. In the clear.[/quote]

I knew my work spouse and I were spending too much time together when he accidentally called me his wife's name at a dinner. The thing about work is sometimes it's very intense and emotional, you spend more time with each other than you do with your family if there's a big project on, and it all becomes a bit entangled. It can happen with any other human being really in the right circumstances. [/quote]

Yes this siutation reminds me of my own except in my case my work spouse and I were very close, too close to be so close in some ways, but still close enough. So then the confusion started when it started to become a possibility that either (possible neither) one of us was actually employed there. Time for a reality check. (as in You say "reality", I say "check.) Not great, not so-so either.

Then "work" "spouse" shows back up disguised as themself, like I said earlier, but I could still tell it was them. LOL. Can you say "Excuse me? I don't believe we've met"?  Yeah right.  :oops: [/quote]
