We spend most of our life at work with our colleagues. We probably spend more time with them than our significant others. Of course, most of that time is not particularly valuable, but amidst lunch breaks, coffees in the break room, and walks to the train station, it is only natural to grow closer. Having someone to complain to, have inside jokes with, and rely on can be extremely comforting. There is really nothing wrong with having a workplace bestie, but there do exist lines that can be crossed. Once someone starts calling their coworker 'work wife' or 'work husband,' it can be a massive red flag that they're tightrope walking on the line between a platonic friendship and something more.

When our protagonist discovers that her husband's new coworker calls him 'work husband,' despite her husband talking her ear off constantly about how much he despises her-- going as far as to call her his 'nemesis'-- she starts to suspect that there may be underlying feelings. Much like a clueless middle-schooler trying to hide his crush on a bespectacled cutie by taunting her with the moniker 'four eyes,' the husband was trying to conceal his feelings for his coworker-- perhaps to himself at first and then eventually to his wife as well as he went behind her back to be intimate with the coworker. Read the story below to see exactly how long it took him to admit his this.
