I’d love to read your responses.
I have three work wives and two work husbands. I mean we spend over 40 hours a week together, I’m with them more than anyone else so it seems only natural to have work spouses. It’s all strictly platonic too. Being around them, definitely makes work more bearable and sometimes, it’s even fun. The emotional support and ability to collaborate with others makes for a better working environment, that’s for damn sure.
The work wives are the ones who come to inspect me in the mornings and scold me for not going to bed sooner. They know because I look tired. They’re also the ones who bring me homemade foods or hook me up with snacks. We can communicate with one another without saying anything. One raised eyebrow or side eye glance and we already know what’s going on without saying a word. They’re also the ones who complain about their husbands to me, they don’t want advice, they only want to vent.
My work husband are the ones who supports me without judgment. He also asks me about advice on his children or what present he ought to get his wife for her birthday. Don’t worry, his wife knows all about me. He’s the one who will video record me getting an award and then show his wife… but not send me the footage. The other knows how I take my coffee and will buy me a cup on his way into work. He’ll joke about me being a workaholic and our talks often end up turning into a therapy session. He’s also the one who makes sure that I’m included in everything, like all the work parties and events.
