When the coworker starts sounding more like the gatekeeper than a coworker, we’ve got a problem. 😂 A close work friendship can happen, but nobody at the office should be running interference in your marriage. That’s where your partner needs to step in. #WorkWife #MarriageAdvice #RelationshipAdvice #WorkplaceBoundaries #HealthyRelationships

I woke up this morning and decided to be a good little wife. I thought you know what? I was surprised my husband on his lunch break. So, you know, about 30 minutes before lunch, I called up to his office. His self-proclaimed work wife answers the phone. Yeah, the one that refers to me as his outside wife. So I'm like, "Hey, you know, I need to talk to my husband." And she's like, "I just really don't think that's going to happen." And I'm like, "Excuse me, like, ring me back to his office." She's like, "Ah, he's just, he's really tied up right now. I just, I can't bring myself to ring his office." He's really tied up. I said, "Not that it's any of your business, but there's a bit of an emergency." And I'm going to need you to put him on the line. And she said, "I mean, he's already committed to lunch if that's what the emergency is." I've heard enough. I don't even know what to say. I mean, I really don't know what to say. Well, a work wife has identified the target. She's storming the castle. There is a breach. There is a breach yet. Work wife is doing all the things strategically to cut outside wife, which is hilarious, that term. So she's got a problem here. It's got to start with him. You got to have a conversation. Hey, do you know I tried to call you for lunch today? And let me tell you what happened. We're going to roleplay. What happened? I was eating a burrito that my work wife had made for me and brought to work. So I didn't even, she didn't tell me you called. What happened? And the work wife was really just ridiculous. You cannot get in between those two. Work wife has identified something she wants and she is going for it. It doesn't happen on the first day of work. It's something that builds over time. Yep. And the next thing you know, you got to work wife. And then you also renamed your wife the outside wife. Does my colleague really against the work wife, though? She was just wrong, nine ways from Sunday.
