In the current 40–45-hour-week work culture, forming close relationships with colleagues is often inevitable. Sure, bonding with coworkers has always been an important part of work life and helps to foster a more positive environment, but some employees are taking it to the next level, forming deep relationships comparable to those of their spouses.
Recently, redditor Playful-Rub-3791 discovered that her husband also has a so-called work spouse. She found this out after he started trashing the lunch she packed and eating the one his colleague had prepared instead. After confronting him about it, he called the wife petty, which ignited a conflict.
