At one job there was a terrible HR person that sucked the joy out of everything she touched. She eventually was let go.

Her assistant took over and was awesome. She became my work wife.

What the hell is a work wife?

Someone you work-marry at your workplace. You can have work-children and adopt work-pets with them. I still remember when my first work-son graduated work-university. Ah, I was so work-proud.

Yep. We just hung out and talked a lot. Went to lunch a lot. There was no sexual component. She was engaged and I was divorced.

That’s called “friendship” however if sexual component was the only thing missing then that’s called a emotional affair.

Weird!

I've heard this term before from other people. My previous manager's boyfriend referred to me as her work boyfriend just because we talked a lot. We were about the same age and grew up in similar socioeconomic environments.
