No, wait, seriously. What about the real wives asking "so who's this Tammy that keeps messaging you?"
"Oh, it's just my work-wife, Sharon. We have been laughing all day at work when our boss spilled his coffee."
Yes. That is gonna work for sure.
- gcatalfamo 10y agoI'll reply to my own comment with one thing: I was the "work-husband" of a girl. That girl is now my wife. Real wife. I have never been happier, but the point is that the platonic-ness of such close relationship can't be always safeguarded. I mean it not in a negative affair-wise connotation, but still you can't help it. And what if some of the two is not actually single?
- mathgeek 10y agoWhich begs the question: if you had been married at the time, would you have left your then-spouse for your current wife as a result of being so close at work? Hypothetical, naturally. For many people who are in the wife's role of that question, that situation is all too real.

- Cyph0n 10y agoAlso, the claim that it's purely platonic is a bit strong. Feelings can develop suddenly, which can destroy your current marriage in the worst case.
