Plenty of affairs happen in the workplace. Jody is out there banging your wife in Corporate America as well.

That's not always true.

Note: I work for myself and have never had a "work wife", but I have seen it work without issue elsewhere.

That’s what she wants you to believe!

Work husbands get the made up and dressed up version.

Home husbands get the plain, honey due list carrying, emotional drama, reality.

Just so we're clear, there are "work wives" too.

Depends on how you define inappropriate. My wife and I would consider such a relationship inappropriate, but there are plenty of couples who don’t. Age has a lot to do with this because if you’re very young and don’t have kids work peers often become integrated into your social life.
Becoming close with coworkers is almost unavoidable when you spend 40-60 hours a week with the same people. Where those lines are drawn depends on the individuals.

So…they have sex and end up moving in with each other?

If you’ve ever had an office job these terms should be familiar to you.


One of them more so for the soccer board but you get my point.

If your wife has a work husband boyfriend you got a problem bud.

While this is usually a platonic relationship, it's extremely close and loyal in a way that work friendships typically aren't. The two of you are very close in a lot of the ways you would be with a spouse (in that you support each other, offer advice, etc.), but there's no romance or physical intimacy.



This is the precursor to the affair, divorce, etc.

Not really. You should not have close relationships with members of the opposite sex if you want a healthy marriage.

Can I have a work wife? One that will actually cook, clean, give BJs?

Best advice to the actual husband would be do NOT show any jealousy. Make friends with the work husband. Find a common interest or two and earn yourself an important ally.


Absolutely fricking not.
