Work Spouse

I came in way late on this one. I bet if you look at people who have work spouses 9 times out of 10 the woman in the work relationship is attractive. Thats because most guys think with their you know what...The "work spouse" starts off as just that, but the man in the relationship is testing the waters and waiting for the right time to make a move without getting a sexual harrassment lawsuit. I personally wouldn't want my wife talking about our love life to a guy at work.

Oh stop it, I hope you had some epiphany( look it up :} ) or something. You do not sound smart you sound like a B_U_L_L_Y

Thank goodness I've finally woken up and taken a vow of celibacy... no, not a religious one, a maintain my sanity one!!! Some silly people want to "protect the institution of marriage?" Yuk! I say, rip it all to bits! History shows that marriage is a blessing for very few, and a wretched curse for most. Let's do away with this vile institution, created STRICTLY to control women, or rather, to control their wombs! You want to be a mother? News flash, you no longer need to be the property of some guy to do that; technically you don't even need to sleep with a man anymore for that.

Most of the readers comments on this analysis of the extremely terrible situation are sadly correct. Especially comment number 15 by a man named Michael is right on target. I will elaborate with a little more detail.

Unfortunately, in today's so-called modern world, we have been taught to not believe in G-D and to not believe that man is created by G-D for a Divine purpose. The logical conclusion of such education is that there is no real need for marriage.

The whole institution of marriage has thus been almost totally decimated. Where it is done, it is a mere formality that is devoid of real meaning. Any love and romance that the boy and girl had for each other quickly dissipates. They are often critical of each other and often show little respect for each other.

They each have and are very busy with their individual careers & jobs: to make enough money to pay for "the good life," and, even more important, each one's career, that IS his or her life!

So there will just not be that much time when they will be able to be with each other. Oh yeah, the periods that they will have together they will call "quality time." In reality though, it will usually be when they are worn out and tired, and will often be taken up with bickering about problems they will face.

By totally sharp contrast, at the office, he will be surrounded by several attractive women co-workers immaculately dressed in beautiful dresses or dress suits (at home, his wife slumps in in an old frayed bathrobe!). Most of them are to him very polite, respectful, friendly, considerate, patient, supportive, and helpful. With at least one or two of these attractive, respectful, considerate, etc. women, he will spend many enjoyable hours tackling stimulating exciting projects.

Similarly, at the office, she will be surrounded by several handsome men co-workers immaculately dressed in expensive business suits. Most of them are to her very polite, respectful, friendly, considerate, patient, supportive, and helpful. With at least one or two of these nice looking, respectful, considerate, etc. men, she will spend many enjoyable hours tackling stimulating exciting projects.

SO WHAT DO WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN??

Especially, especially, especially, when we remember that in today's so-called modern world, words like "G-D" and "G-D is watching you" and "G-D says: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery'" are totally not in people's vocabulary, and that anyone who dares to even mention an idea of "morality" is branded as an old fashioned right wing religious fanatic --

HE HAS AN AFFAIR WITH A WOMAN FROM THE OFFICE!

SHE HAS AN AFFAIR WITH A MAN FROM THE OFFICE!

WHAT ELSE DID WE EXPECT WOULD HAPPEN???

i agree with "his work wife" i became a work wife to a co worker and he is awesome! loving! and supportive he is my best friend we tell eachother other everything. were both married and have children we have been in a relationship for a year we use to work in the same office and thats where it started we still work for the same company but different offices and our relationship is still strong and we see eachother every day no one has ever suspected anything he keeps me sain and when i have problems i go to him hes my better half my husband well thats my bitter half. he is great! is it really wrong? he makes me very happy!

This has happened to me so many times over the years with my husband. My heart has been broken. I stay married because of my kids. But he has been emotionally involved with one woman after another over 17 years. Yet, he always tells me I am jealous. At first I thought I was, then I realized he was the one who could not stop being attracted to the newest face in the office.

I had perfect attendance when I worked for MA Bell for 7 years. The reason was at the same place there worked the most beautiful woman in the world. It was soooo nice to see her everyday. That is why I had perfect attendance.

EEEEEEgads!!!!!!!!!!! Work spouses were pouncing on my ex when he moved up to a CFO position. Whether they were married or not, they were after him like cats in heat. My oldest daughter worked at the company and she noticed his "work spouses". I think he finally married one of them, moved to Utah and became a cook at ski resort. So much for our 24 yrs. of marriage huh? I wonder if he'll run off with some Hollywood starlet from the restaurant next?

Suzy....He never mentions her at all because he's wised up. Keep up the unannounced visits...even hang out in the school parking lot after school unobserved. This happened to a male teacher in my school w/his student teacher. He ended up divorcing hs wife and marrying the student teacher. This very single assistant is definitely after your husband and you need to put and end to it. An anonymous letter to the principal would also help because I know if my principal got this type of letter, she'd definitely be watching both of them. No one likes a scandal in their workplace.

Work spouse led to a separation after my wife of 33 years left with the scumbag.
