Subject: Have you ever crossed the line with your work spouse?
I have had two work spouses. One was gay. The other I could tell started having feelings for me, we were both married. We held hands once but otherwise nothing happened but I could tell he was jealous when I was hanging out with a platonic male friend in my office who also worked at our company. His wife would stop by occasionally and she would give me dirty looks. He and I stopped chatting when I left the job.

Well the story thickens. It turns out they do, repeat do, work there, but now they say they are not my spouse and don't even recognize me. Back to the drawing table! LOL

I don’t understand what you are trying to say.
TIA. Am saying the individual I assumed to be my work spouse, in a marriage of sorts in the workplace, turned out not to be working there, or anywhere, which was quite a bolt of out of the blue. So when I asked them how come (and where the job went), they claimed not to know who I was and went into all this silly business about a case of mistaking identities, so we agreed to disagree for the moment.
So weird.

How is this made up?
the same way "Love" and "spouse" are made up concepts. But who cares? Mother's day is a "made up holiday" ... right? So is Christmas and Easter and Diwali and Rosh Hashanah. We celebrate them.
So this concept of a spouse is something people made up, or defined in a certain way. We can make up other categories, too. Like "Work Spouse" or, as I like to call them, Wouses. And emotional affairs -- just another name for love if you ask me. We have no limit on love. But our concept - as defined by society - likes to limit us to one person at a time. So no wouse for you.
xxoo love you all I don't have a wouse I do have a spouse.
Lol. Please post lots! Keep wouses coming!

As far as I’m concerned, calling somebody your work spouse is crossing the line.

FFS, I hate that term work spouse. You have co-workers, friends, crushes, and APs - so call it what it is. And NEVER use that phrase with your actual spouse - it just shows how little you think of your relationship.

That's not a work spouse. That's an affair. You talk about your affairs to your work spouse...two different people/concepts.
So, my husband always had a work spouse. Always. Until I had an affair. Then never heard another word about work wives. Is it likely that he had a work (emotional or sexual) affair?
If you had an affair, then he probably did too. In fact, I'm sure of it.

No and no. Though we have evolved past work spouses and I am now his “life wife.”
