A married mother of two says a text on her husband’s phone changed how she sees the coworker he calls his work wife. In a post on Reddit by u/Dusk2312312 in r/emotionalaffair, the woman claims the message read, “I miss you. Can we talk tonight? I need my best friend.” She reportedly saw it while fetching something from his car.
The woman says they have been married for six years and share two children under four. His friends also use the work wife label for the coworker, and she claims she once laughed it off. However, the text prompted her to open the message thread, which appeared to show a long history of contact between the two.
