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.
People do all kinds of stuff!
