Married coworkers clash when husband refuses wife's PDA on the clock, putting professional boundaries over feelings: 'She never felt so humiliated'

We've all heard the phrase, "Don't fish in the company pond." Well, you've probably heard the more popular (and slightly less polite) version of that saying, but the sentiment is the same: work and romance really don't mix well. I've seen even the best of couples accidentally make their coworkers uncomfortable, either by sneaking in some smooches by the coffee machine or having a whispered argument that everyone pretends not to hear. It's one thing to flirt over coffee breaks or share inside jokes in the office group chat, but things can get complicated fast when your personal life and professional life start overlapping. I've had the misfortune of witnessing even the best of couples 

One couple found themselves in a tricky situation regarding their own boundaries in the office. The two have been together for seven years and even met on the job, but they've always kept things professional at work, meaning no PDA, no pet names, no nothing. That is, until their boss's wife joined the team and started openly showing affection toward her husband in the office. Seeing that apparently sparked something in our narrator's wife, and when she tried to show a little affection herself, things didn't exactly go as planned.
