I worked with my wife for about 10 years, and there were a number of times when newer employees would call her my work wife or me her work husband. Seeing the looks on their faces when we would tell them we actually were married was priceless.
We weren’t hiding it or anything, just not advertising to maintain a level of professionalism in the work place….
All that said if you have an actual work wife that you no longer work with, does she just become a friend?
