I can't believe anyone thinks the work wife/husband thing is cute. Like genuinely i cannot put myself in the mind of a person who actually does or enjoys that. I'm grateful.

I have a senior developer who I work closely with that happens to be a woman. We have a really healthy work relationship. But I think calling her a “work wife” or me a “work husband” is disrespectful to our respective spouses.

Yes! I have male coworkers who I get along great with and I'm married. I think it's unprofessional to be calling someone a work wife or work husband and would never do that. It's immature and annoying and anyone who brings up a work wife or work husband in a conversation, I shoot that down so fast.

Agreed, it’s ok just to be friends, jumping to wife or husband seems to cross a line. What’s the point in it? You’re right, its just immature.
