Man Asserts His Boundaries After Female Coworker Labels Him ‘Work-Husband’ as He Fears Upsetting His Wife

Setting limits with people in your immediate vicinity while you're married or in a committed relationship is crucial to preserving harmony and fostering mutual trust. Having said that, how would you respond if a teammate tried to cross the line in front of the entire office?

The story below is an account of a frustrated employee. For a significant duration, the original poster (OP) was employed by the same company. Due to his job, OP was frequently required to depart on business trips with his long-term female coworker. Even though they were together constantly, they seemed to get along great. However, when the coworker began referring to OP as her work husband after having one or two too many drinks, things took a turn for the worse.

That being said, make sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning what happened next. When you're done, don't forget to read about the woman who, in response to her sister's objections to the original name, renamed the eldest child, defying her husband and igniting a heated argument over marital loyalties!
