I’ve heard the terms “work husband” and “work wife” for as long as I can remember. I think it’s extremely weird. The words “husband” and “wife” are sacred and should be saved for actual spouses. In the year 2024, these terms have made it to TikTok. Some people think it’s innocent, but thankfully, there are people pointing out the toxicity of it.

I have a work wife, but instead of being a hot female co-worker he is 60 and called dave
🤮
Exactly, most guys work wife is there best friend who is a guy.

I would be furious w my husband if I found out he had a work wife. There is only one wife and that’s me this isn’t polygamy
Yeah I’m not married but I once had a female coworker I got along with very well. Our work styles just really clicked so we got handed the same contracts. Anyway everyone at the company called Caitlyn my work wife (not my idea) and it got back to my gf and she got super pissed. Accused me of cheating on her. The irony is our job is remote and Caitlyn lives on the other side of the country so… idk how that relationship is happening

Based
Polygamy ❤
Hahaha so sweet 😊
I told my husband, if anyone calls herself your “work wife”, she’s going to meet your REAL wife. So incredibly disrespectful.
Insecure much?
@@Mikael-jt1hksomeone's wife got a boyfriend?
@@Mikael-jt1hk are you the work wife that no one wants to marry? Because you seem pretty pressed by a wife setting healthy boundaries.
@@Mikael-jt1hk Your wife needs to go through your phone.
@@moonsigil why, the wife is insecure not him
A lady at my work started calling me her work husband, and I said nah.
Modern society can be summed up as such: the inmates have gotten loose and are now running the asylum.
Lol
100% 🤣
They didn't get loose, they were released. Lol
Modern society makes much more sense when you realize that social media and our smart devices are optimized to produce dangerous cults, and that ever since the pandemic, most of the people around you belong to at least one of them.
😂
There is no work husband or wife there is just a wife and Husband. Period.
💅
That's 100% true. It's weird that people think that a work wife/husband is a fun way to not cheat. Man people are crazy
My grandmother said that when the first few months after my parents got married my dad always looked extra happy when he had the opportunity to introduce my mom as “his wife”.
Husband or wife is not a term that you should just throw around, it is special.
@@isabellavreeland4384this right here
@Diegon5152 💅
That would be taking your relationship for granted. However, The notion of a flawless marriage or relationship is a myth. There's no set formula for success; what works for one couple may not work for another. Yet, I've discovered that there's always a way forward, even in the most challenging times. Five years ago, my wife and I encountered significant hurdles in our marriage that nearly led to divorce. Despite the adversity, we managed to weather the storm and emerge from it with our bond renewed and revitalized
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Letting go of someone you love is always challenging, but in my situation, I had the guidance of a spiritual counselor who prevented my marriage from falling apart. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters...
This is helpful, I will look her up online right now...Thanks
You wont regret it
I'm glad you covered this topic.
I first heard the term used by one of my coworkers when I told her I was getting married (this was years ago).
She told me she was single at work and that it doesn't matter if I'm married that I was free to have a "work husband". Thankfully, I had the good sense to know this was crap since she'd been married and divorced twice.
Young people just starting relationships need to know healthy boundaries and that talk like that leads to affairs, divorce and other damage. It's not funny. It's not ok.
If my husband had a “work wife”, it would be his only wife, real quick. 😂
“It” 😂
Agreeeeeed!
I had someone like that, but I would never call her "work wife". She's "work sister".
Work wife is just wrong.

I thought this term was only used by those who were single lol. Using it unironically while IN a relationship, is insane.
Society always takes a step further from irony or this is like that annedote of what came first, the chicken or the egg? In this case the cheating or the playful flirtation of the idea of cheating.
@@celiacabral3604 that’s an interesting way to think about it!
I saw something somewhere that you should never go to the opposite sex to discuss problems you’re having with your partner. That opens doors!!!!!!!!!
Emotional cheating exist- your spouse/partner should be the closest person of opposite sex to you. No exceptions.
@@SSJacksWolfYou’re clearly justifying your own cheating. You’re disgusting.
@@SSJacksWolf Because in historical times your marriage would be set up by your families for business purposes. If you look at marriage as the best environment for a child to grow, then you'd see why emotional cheating is harmful to that environment.
@@SSJacksWolfHistorical. Nothing has changed to some people. Gold diggers don't change their pans. Just their plots. 😆
I say. Why would you marry someone you have no connection with? That is someone you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with. 👰🤵
@@robertbuzuk9251seriously though. Thanks for having the energy to respond to this whack ass comment. Good lord 😂
Gay men are the exception
My husband was my work husband until I got pregnant with our first child. We worked for the same vending company and clocked in together on weekends to tag team our accounts. I have only had one work husband, and it's the one I married before I got the job. 😃🥰
It's fine if you're not already in a relationship
@ronaldmeyers6525 I honestly don't even think that's a good idea. While it can be funny, I think the concept as a whole is detrimental. Call me old fashioned and a stickler, but I think it contributes to the issue of marriage no longer being seen as a sacred thing. It used to be. It used to be that abuse or infidelity were the only reasons to leave. But people view marriage as they do dating now. It's just dating that they get legal benefits from.
I'm glad that it worked out for you but, I will never attempt that lol.
@nickd2296 Most people won't. We also take road trips multiple times a year, and each one is a minimum of 14 hours long. Some are upwards of 24 hours before we get to our destination. We get along in the car really well, too. I was blessed to marry someone who I can be around non-stop and work well together with in any situation, and we still love being together and get along awesome.
I was a work mom. I've always been a motherly figure to all the coworkers I was close to. Providing snacks when they forgot to bring food themselves, giving advice when needed and yelling at them when they were being unsafe.
Well yes being a 'work dad' is a real thing for me. I am the second oldest worker in my workplace. I was working before most of my coworkers were born. It keeps me young.
In return, I let them (think) they can show me how spreadsheets work. 😁
I've been the "work uncle" bailing younger employees out and even putting one up in my guest room for a while (with my wife's OK of course). That's OK, it is when you mess with marriage that trouble starts.
It’s very common in teachers…and so is cheating 😭
Litch I swear there's some secret affaires going on w half my teacher 💀💀
Teachers today also have illegal relations with the students.
EMTS, nurses, police officers,…🤮
I’ve seen this in so many of my jobs and when I’ve pointed out that it’s wrong and I get looked at as the bad guy. This type of behavior opens the door for cheating and it’s gross. Work is work and that’s it.
People think that they could never cheat, but the fact is that the ability to cheat is in all of us. That's why we have to be careful with our behavior and boundaries.
I have 5 work "partners"': 2 hetero, 1 gay/bi, 1 trans & 1 non-binary. I've never cheated...only oral!!!
@@mesamom62 It's more than the ability to cheat. If you are spending a lot of time close with people who are vaguely attractive your hormones will kick in and make things "confusing". I may be unfair but this is especially true of men, who thrive on attention from women (I am a man). It's all part of the destruction of religion (ethics and moral reinforcement) and the absolute deconstruction of Marriage.
"Work is work and that's it" And what if you fall in love with someone? Not everything is so rational my dude, life is more complicated than that
@@jolopolo4761That’s why you should shut the door on that ASAP if either of you have a partner. I had a “work wife” who had a partner when I was single, but I never pushed it further even tho I could have and really wanted to. I also thought I fell in love with her, since she’s left I now see how incredibly disrespectful that was to her relationship on both our parts
People keep chipping away at traditional relationships and families. This is just another example.
Yeah and we have this mass normalization of it
I mean this has been going on for a long, long time. Maybe the internet/social media has pushed it in your faces more, but people of the opposite sex noticing each other isn’t a new concept.
I think calling your work friend a “work wife” or “work husband” is a red flag. It just seems really weird if you are actually married.
I’m a trucker, and my work wife is my 2023 Peterbilt semi truck. And she reminds me a lot of my real wife lol Reliable, supportive, high maintenance, and keeps me in check if I’m doing something I’m not supposed to 😂
Not sure is it's the same with trucks but I used to run supertankers around the world and they are always referred to as 'she' and for a good reason for similar reasons as you say. Can't do without them, can't argue them, and quite expensive when it all goes wrong but we love them all the same. I have seen grown men actually look wistful and shed a tear over an old ship. 😍
@@brianthesnail3815 Love to see it’s not just truckers out there that feel this way lol 💯
Thank God Brett talked about this. There’s no need for a work spouse if you have an ACTUAL spouse. That’s just a roundabout way to cheat without the guilt. Sure there are some work spouse relationships that are funny, my dad’s work wife is a 52 year old man named Dennis who works as a janitor and it’s clearly a joke. But in the literal sense it’s (no pun intended) nonsense
beans
It is only a joke. There is no cheating.
Where I used to work was a hotbed of lust and sex and, yeah, real husbands and wives (who worked there) got split because of the work husband or wife became the afternoon delight. I had a partner at work in the sense we worked on a lot of things together. We became good friends. We still keep in touch. Her husband and my wife knew each other and were friends. Us couples would go out together occasionally.
And that's as far as it went. We knew the boundaries and respected them.
The way grownups are supposed to.
Brett's faces and the "WHO ARE YOU?" has me cracking up! I could not agree more, girl. So I'm basically watching this for celebrating mutual opinion. And I love it
When I was in 6th grade my coach started flirting with a married teacher even at that age I knew it was wrong. Last day of school the teachers husband came to the school and confronted the coach. Long story short, the coach got fired.
The next year they hired another coach. He had an affair with another teacher. They were both married. They ended up both getting a divorce and getting married two years later.
My husband literally just talked to HR about a women at his office trying desperately and pathetically to be his “work wife”
Constantly texting him overly complimenting him and praising him. Always has to sit RIGHT next to him, even if it means leaving her real life boyfriend to do so.. Not to mention when she tried to stick her hand down his shirt in front of me, his REAL WIFE💀 so unprofessional. Where are the women that actually respect men and their marriages?!
They're in other countries
I think that woman might be campaigning to lose a significant portion of her hairline.
Sadly women have been allowed to be scummy without any real consequences for so long, a lot of them are demented. It’s an awful reality that women have become to the thing they wanted to get rid of.
Women respecting men, lol
Girl if I where u and saw that I would have no chill 😅
When I was 18/19 my like 35/40 year old boss would call me his work wife and it was the creepiest thing ever!!!!! And yes I told upper management and nothing was done about it
😬
Yoooooo. That’s wild, bruh.
Ewwwww that’s disgusting of your boss…
Yucky 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

I find it completely inappropriate to create relationships with other people not my husband at work. Not happening, ever. I’m a dispatcher and my coworkers are constantly texting and messaging cops and paramedics we dispatch for.
It's ok to have friends outside of your marriage and or relationship. That's weird af thinking that your spouse is the only person you must be around and be friends with
I worked at a factory, I was shocked to see the “work wife/husband”, then it made sense….these people were cheating on their real spouses.
Back in my day, coworkers we enjoy working with were called “friends”
I call my coworker my work wife.
I’m single.
He’s a dude.
We’re both dudes.
Ok that’s different lol
😂
My wife is Brazilian. She warned me if I ever got a work wife then she will make sure I pay tenfold. I believe her..
It’s the most ridiculous idea. I’m glad I just work remote and with my remote production team.
I don’t hang out with women alone unless my intention is to date. Keep your boundaries and respect your relationship.
I found this behavior disgusting when I worked in an office job. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
Don’t dip your pen in the company ink. Don’t ruin your career.
Play with fire, expect to get burned.
If I had a coworker who flirted with me while I was in a relationship or married, she wouldn't be a "work wife",
She'd be a "Work Stay-the-Hell-Away-from-Me-Before-I-Call-HR"
Sadly most men I work with LOOOVE the attention. I met this guy who would keep saying “my gf” and had no ring 💍 and I had a crush on him so I searched him on Facebook and turns out he’s married with 4 kids. Yea some men love it for the ego.
Yup- that’s my husband. A woman started talking to him too much during lunch and he got annoyed and started eating lunch in his room 💀😂
HR tends to ignore it when it is a woman flirting with a man.
Go to HR ASAP. These modern females hate rejection and will do anything to destroy a man’s life by playing the victim card…
@@nickd2296 Yes or flip it around also. Best thing is to just ignore it and not participate in it
A bunch of guys at work started referring to me as their “work wife” and fake arguing over it. I said to stop and that it was disrespectful to their girlfriends. One of them continued to do so, and he eventually asked me on a date (yes he still was in a relationship). I continued to bother them by asking “how is your girlfriend” after they made an inappropriate comment. They eventually got the hint. Trust me, it’s never just friendly banter.
I quickly applied for jobs on another team
What a gross and toxic work environment that was. I am so nervous to be in a relationship because of things like this.
Yeah, I discovered mine had feelings for this co-worker for over 3 months behind my back, and he ended up leaving me for her.
The heartache is still very raw, and I can't stop tearing up while I was watching this video.
People will find excuses for literally anything this day in age 🤦🏻♂️
That's why the Lord said.... Marriage first.... Then kids. In that order. Then you would have a husband to be your helper in raising your child.
Same goes to female teachers , nurses and Candece Owens as well
Your husband shouldn't be a helper with your kids
Amen I Cant wait to be a mother one day❤
I agree with that. I didn't understand it at first... the living together, havigns sex, having children before marriage, i didn't see something wrong with it. However, I've lived with my partner for 5 years, we came to Christ together last summer and my understandings are tototally changed. We just got married 3 weeks ago. But if I could go back time, I woud have done it in THAT order... Mariage is not sacred anymore when you skip all the steps. That's why the understanding of marriage for people is now so twisted
“Husband to be your HELPER” I’m sorry what 😭
No matter how many of your videos I have seen, the segues into adds will forever catch me off guard 😂
Ironic the timing of this video - my partner (now ex) just admitted to explicit texting with a girl from work last night !! 😄
I have a really good friend at work who is a guy. We are a team and work very well together, however, we would never call each other ‘work wife/husband’. I adore his wife and he adores my partner. We have been friends and co-workers for 10+ years. People just want to put a label on something like this which is stupid to me, this label should never have been a thing!!!
Amen! I have a Husband at home and Co-Workers at work. Am I better friends with some of them, of course, but “work husband” sounds gross. Everyone knows my husband is not only my BEST FRIEND, he is my confidant, my sounding board, and my biggest cheerleader. I love this video!
My mom had a "work husband" and my parent's almost got divorced.
It's funny that this topic has came up. Just today at work this guy asked me if he can be my "work husband". I told him NO!!! Then he asked for my number I said NO!! It's at the point where I don't want to work near him. He makes me so uncomfortable. At this point I'm going to HR on him. I can't take it anymore he always sexualize me. One time he said that I look young and innocent. Like he said I look 18 when I am in my 30's. I told him that I have a boyfriend and he didn't care. He just kept flirting with me.
Love the input😊 only 15 but if me and my s/o make it far I’ll remember to keep the more romantic titles between me and her, no one else. Thx for your opinion on this Brett
It makes me so uncomfortable to hear it. THANK YOU.
I've been working in factories for close to 20 years now, and in my experience, the "work spouses" ALWAYS end up together
I’m glad you are taking about this. This has been going on forever and sadly this is still happening in today’s society.
The term just opens the door for potential problems. You have to have boundaries, protect your actual relationships at all costs.
I got work kids and a work mortgage as well.
Wow that sucks, im sorry 🤔
Can we all just take a second to appreciate that transition into the advertisement? That was impressive!
As someone who is only just getting out into the world (I’m still in college) I just wanted to thank you for making these types of videos Brett because I’m used to people around me joking in this fashion but it has all been in genuine fun and I’ve never really considered that it might change in the workspace because of the longer number of hours and more time spent closer. It never occurred to me, purely through lack of experience and naïveté, that this could go south, because up until now I’ve only seen harmless versions of this. Thank you so much for showing us young folks a stark reality we may not have considered!
People really wonder why relationships have problems.
I have 5 work "partners"': 2 hetero, 1 gay/bi, 1 trans & 1 non-binary. I've never cheated...only oral!!!
I think this dynamic is happening between 2 people at my office. I play it safe by only interacting with female co-workers when it is absolutely necessary.
🤮🤮🤮It’s in every workplace, they go to work to not work…
Solid call
Yes. It's definitely a thing in our workplace too. Mind you everybody is 20 - 35 years younger than me so I am definitely in Father or even Grandfather territory but even so being an 'old white man' I am super careful about any kind of banter.
My "work wife" is a 55 year old dude with 30 years seniority and a drinking problem and a general hatred for everything about our job. It's amazing.
You long so young and so wise - respect. Only found channel today. bravo!
I'm blessed to work from home and my "work wife" and "real wife" are the same person. Been happily married to her for 38 years and even when I had to go to a corporate office, I never would have had a work wife.
I always felt uneasy about that phrase. I'd be pretty jealous if my husband had a "work wife."

@@erikabutterfly Same with my husband's job. Also, he travels to different sites in the area.
I don’t have a work wife, I have a wife. Coworkers tried flirting with me and actually called me their work husband and I cut that the moment they said it because of respect towards me and my wife. Plus I would also want the same in return from my Partner out of love and respect towards me 👌🏻
I had a manager at an “art and crafts store with the initials H.L.” Who tried to get me to be his “work wife,” which freaked me out hard core, so badly, I started having my husband stop by more often in the store. The manager started treating me like trash and eventually, I quit✌️💁♀️
Nothing is more awkward than having a work child with your work wife. 😂😂😂
Only slightly more awkward than find one of your adult son's friends now works on the floor below you in the same building. Thankfully we have never yet met in the elevator.
In the military, especially the Navy where you are away from home constantly, a "deployment bf/gf" is not uncommon. They cause so much pain to the service-member and their families. Don't be stupid, people. You made a lifelong commitment, grow up.

I was shocked at the end of my training realizing how many people alongside me were doing things in the barracks and had a SO at home. It was very unsettling is it so hard to be loyal? I dated someone at that time and wrote letters but never looked at someone there and thought yes I would love to break my SOs heart/trust. That's insane wouldn't you just break up with them??? Very confusing
I don't even try to bond with my co-workers 💀
Every time I’ve heard someone refer to a “work wife” or “work husband” it always leads to divorce. Pretty telling. Guard your hearts.
I work in construction in west Texas, I dont have to worry about a "work wife"....the very very few women on site are usually related to a contractor and doing cleanup/make ready work, the burrito lady, OSHA and inspector types or a customer talking to the contractor.
This happens in healthcare where I work. especially in relationships where they never see each other ,people they’re always In the office and never home .they see the work hubby and wives more then the real ones .💀
I had a female co-worker call me her “work BFF” and we used to go for coffees and lunch together. I remember my wife got pissed when I told her about it so I stopped that and set her up with a friend of mine. Im pleased to say they are now married with 2 kids!

That’s what I thought-like it was a term for the co worker who “hen-pecks” you or you bicker with over who needs to clean out the shared mini fridge.
Oh my gosh thank you!!!! I ALWAYS thought that was weird!!!! Even before I was married, I thought it was so freaking weird!
why is the term ' work spouse ' so normalised?

@@fan7708 cheating involves far more than just sex.
The thing is that at workplaces when they're becomes a relationship where they call themselves work husband or work styles, they are already too intimate and it always I repeat always ends up in an affair.

@@samadams6487 not necessarily. Obviously I know emotional cheating is a very real thing but that’s not what a work wife is🤣 work wife is just someone you work well with and get along with. What y’all are describing is an affair.

This feels like a finally kind of take, finally someone speaks out about it
Work wife or husband is as bad as saying your co-workers are your "family".
This is why you don’t date someone where you work. For men it is a lose-lose situation! Work husband, gets no benefits and it is an HR / lose work / lose your family event to happen!
beans
exept work is the perfect place to get to know someone without having to go through the excrutiating process of dating. you have all the time in the world, there is a lot less emotional pressure. It's where I met my wife and I have no regrets, it just happened as we got to discover each other as human beings. The mistake would have been to let it go because of yet again another limitating rule. You can always find another job.
@@backintimealwyn5736 let me get some clarity to your perspective:
1) context is important, how long ago did you meet your future wife at work? If it is over 5-10 years ago, that would have been fine. But now, post Me-Too, it is substantially riskier!
2) You can get another job..nope, especially if you are talking about a corporate job. You get an HR related issue, and you are basically black-balled across that industry! Google James Damore, 2018!
Most people who end up married MEET AT WORK ffs 😂 you people are fucked in the head. So incredibly insecure 😂
Only unprofessional people go to work to do anything but not work 😒😒😒if you’re looking for a bf/gf go do that on your own time not during company time 🙄🙄🙄
Sounds more like someone to cheat on your partner, and disguising it to make it sound like something else.
Like a chicken nugget from a certain franchise that you know there isn't any chicken in it.
I was a work "mom" bc I was constantly bringing food and treats for everyone and not like any of my coworkers who were my same age. I was engaged (now married w/ kids) and didn't want to go out drinking or partying with them.
This is the ‘friend’ that we girls always know has other intentions but is sooooo nice.

Exactly, some of my classmates decided that another one of my classmates is my school fiance, since im engaged. We both hate it...
I can’t fathom having a close enough relationship with another person that I call them my “work spouse” without me wanting an actual relationship with them. For me once I have someone it’s like a switch in my head. I only have eyes for them and everyone else is just not in the picture
I have worked with quite a few young adults who call me there "Work Dad" in which i have tried to be someone they can talk to and look up to. I would never be able to tolerate or go for a work wife as it does feel disrespectful to partners
I had this exact conversation at work. I being the youngest during this conversation was the only one that thought having a “work wife/ work husband” was not right.
All of my work spouses are dudes like me.

This concept of a „work-wife“ sounds like your best friend from school with whom you’d spend all your time during school but wouldn’t see afterwards or just a crush
I know this happens on all professions, but I feel like it’s CRAZY frequent in the military lol. I would never date a girl in the military, I’ve seen too much smh. Long hours and even worse, imagine your girl is in the navy and she’s literally traveling the world with her work husband for months at a time and your somewhere else waiting in an email lmao
I've only known one woman who was referred to as a 'work wife.' She ended up being the side piece. Yuck. The guy wised up and worked to repair his marriage. Inexplicably, the side piece received much sympathy, as if she was the poor little victim because the guy went back to his wife and two little kids. Women, if you are chasing after married guys, you are NOT a victim, you are a home wrecker.
Work wife is the one that tells off the women that try to hit on you and tell your real wife that you are actually working and not screwing around. Though that to me is more of a work mom.
I support work moms and work sisters. Not work wives.
That is just a good work friend. I had a guy at work who looked out for me and would give the impression that we were together when we were working the same store (we were vendors). No guys bothered me when he was around. He knew I got hit on a lot, and he wanted to make sure that my husband never had to worry about me being in bad areas for work. He was really good friends with both of us until we moved out of state and lost contact. Still owe that guy a lot for helping me out. Even when we texted, my husband saw every text we sent and was involved in basically every conversation because as a wife, there is no reason outside of business, that I should be texting a male without my husband being able to see what we are talking about. He never asked for my phone. I just showed him out of respect for him.
@@thisishisbubbles9362 So, you had a work husband.
You realize that you don't actually get a house and have children with your work husband, right? That's not what it means.
beans
That's disturbing that you consider that acceptable behavior. Any of that.
I think now of days people take things so literally. The person going to HR over a comment, grow up and just tell person you don't approve. I am okay with a work-buddy. But keep your personal life separate. I never spoke about my spouse in a negative manner (even if we were arguing-no one ever knew), when the buddy of opposition sex would bring up their spouse in a negative light or the issues going on, I would stop it and say NOPE find a therapist or another person. So I think it depends on the person.
Monogamy in any relationship is a must. A spiritual and emotional connection between two people that develops into marriage is something sacred and should be unending.
I had a work husband. He was my best friend and chaperone (unmarried woman had to be chaperoned in my culture). My family trusted him to make sure I was looked after while I’m in the office. He made sure no one harassed me, flirted with me or was annoying to me.
HOWEVER, when I got engaged, he made sure I was happy and then stepped down because that is husband’s area now.
He is still my best friend (my family loves him) and we both moved into different jobs. We are both married with kids. Our husbands know about each other and view us as what we are…best friends.
Funny, I haven’t had a work husband since. I have my husband and I keep things professional at work.
Yeah, I had to stop talking to a girl at work last year because I had become too emotionally attached to her. While I was not purposely trying to make her my work girlfriend, it definitely came off that way emotionally.
Before I got married there wasn’t one female “friend” that was just that. I can’t speak for women but it is hard wired into the male brain. Any close relationship with the opposite sex will go that way. It should be avoided. That doesn’t mean you cannot be friendly with those of the opposite sex but it is a pitfall best avoided
Maybe this explains why all men at work avoid me haha. Like they won’t even make eye contact. the temptation is too much for them I guess lmao
@@StepharchivesYeah, I'm sure you're just SOOOO hot & irresistible...🙄🙄🙄
I have 5 work "partners"': 2 hetero, 1 gay/bi, 1 trans & 1 non-binary. I've never cheated...only oral!!!
@@Stepharchives My main rule at this point is to avoid going to their cubes and stuff to talk casually. I am fine with being friendly in the hallway, and interacting at in-office work events.
Charity begins at home; Adultery begins at work.
When I worked outside the house the last thing I wanted to do was contend with more people. I took my lunch breaks alone, always had my headphones on, reading a book etc. Kept things very simple.
My husband was my work husband for years. We worked together until I retired, for medical reasons. He still works and we loved working together.
