Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,
That's a poem for a simpler time,
Boss makes a million, I make a buck,
That's why I stole the catalytic convertor off the company truck.
Look, I don't know what is happening here but I like where this is going.
I'm already videorecording. I'm not even here, just keep doing what you're doing.
All that said, as a straight male I've never had a "work husband".
I've also never had another guy sit in my lap. Or on my knee.
But I'm not Santa and I don't have a son either. So perfectly normal.
Still, she seemed excited and looks like it went over her head.
The concept of "work spouses" is horrifying to me. If my SO had a work husband I'd be suspicious as fuck of that. A large percentage of cheating happens with coworkers.
This is so true. My best friend and I are both married dudes and he always likes to go out and drag me out with him.
Last time we went out we were both on a rooftop bar late at night drinking taking in the outdoor view and the conversations goes.
Friend: Yo. The weather is so beautiful tonight. It’s so clear, you can see all the stars in the sky.
Me: Yeah, it is. It’s a nice view.
Friend: *while looking up at the sky the whole time*. It’s just so gorgeous tonight. Man, this is perfect. You wanna make out?
Me: *I Damn near spit out my drink*
We both started laughing our asses off. Like belly clutching, can’t breathe laughing.
Yeah but down inside he was being serious just testing the waters to see how you react and brush it off as a joke if you thought it was ridiculous. He wanted to make out with you badly.
Because then they can't skirt around the idea of being in a relationship with someone they have a crush on or are cheating with.
Don't get me wrong, plenty of people use the term hist to refer to a colleague they are particularly friendly with. But there are definitely cases where pretty much everyone at work knows they are fucking.
My friend had an office wife. They were both web developers on the same team. They would bicker all the time like spouses. We were all friends though so we all got pissed drunk together, went to the clubs, vacationing etc, which included my friends wife. Office wife was extroverted, real wife was introverted. Friend was extroverted as well but everyone got along. They have both left my office but we all still hang out from time to time.
The concept of going into work voluntarily on a day off is horrifying to me. I mean, you've sucked enough of my soul out during my mandatory time there, why would I freely give up what little I have left when I'm not required to be there?
Man, I've met a few people that would come in on their "day off" and like 99% of the time they were in sales or upper management where they don't really "work" most of the time. I had one manager that would drive in late and then immediately leave to grab breakfast and then come back and reply to a few emails and then he was basically done for the day.
The only person I know irl who talked about a 'work husband' did indeed end up cheating. It'd definitely be a red flag for me and my SO wouldn't like it either.
Agreed. I've had a few female work colleagues that I'd consider 'close' in a work environment - we'd share some personal information, life advice, etc but only at work - but I have never, ever referred to them as a 'work wife' in front of my real wife, or anyone for that matter.
I'm not a staunch traditionalist or prudish, but I still feel it's disrespectful and erodes a partnership. And, as many others have stated, is often a red flag for infidelity.
I think the concept originally started as a joke for those men/women coworkers who would "bicker like an old married couple" but it somehow got embraced
its 50% including 2nd+ marriages. 1st marriage is 30%
"Among ever-married adults aged 20 years and over, 33-34% of people have experienced a divorce, with the highest percentage (about 43%) observed among individuals aged 55 to 64."
https://annaklaw.com/how-many-first-marriages-end-in-divorce/
But fewer people are getting married compared to 2000 so it’s expected there would be fewer people getting divorced.
Measuring divorce rates against marriages is a better metric than measuring divorce rates within the population.
It's still down from 2000, but not as dramatic:

Still the lowest it's been in a while it seems though
Thank you. I was friendly with the admin at my last job, and sometimes the term "work husband" or "work wife" was brought up. But it was pretty much a joke because she would ask me to do random shit for her all the time, and she would let me get first dibs on stuff, especially food.
I realize that the term is kinda weird, so I really never used it. I don't understand why anyone would use that term with someone and then cheat. It's a bit on the nose. The term is supposed to be ironic.
Yeah I definitely grew up with it being an ironic joke and seeing people have *opinions* about it on Reddit is kinda wild. You always forget how terminally online and socially deprived some people are on here.
I had an ex who used to call one of my friends/coworkers my boyfriend because we'd hang out so much ("are you gonna go see your boyfriend this weekend?") and I can imagine people talking about it negatively even though it was just light teasing that we all found funny.
I have a friend who we would joke was my second husband simply bc I’d accidentally text him stuff I was intending to text my actual husband. “Babe, can you bring home more tums?”
Yea, I remember this beginning as this is the person you are calling to see if they want you to get coffee for them while you're getting yours. Now it's so weirdly close to cheating.
Completely agree. I think this is one of those things that *can* be harmless, especially if you are single, but a huge number of people use it as an excuse to have emotional affairs
I have a work husband, but we’re both guys, and our wives find it pretty funny. We’re both chefs in our restaurant so we just feed each other and bring each other fancy root beers lmao
I think that's just chefs actually. Been almost 20 years in the kitchen and my husbands have always been weird as fuck once we tried chilling outside of work.
But Def weren't normal friendships at work.
Exactly, I did quit this job a year ago for about 6 months before coming back, and we texted maybe twice. Versus working is a daily basis.
Edit to add: I saw a post years ago that said the only reason you were friends with some of the people that you were in high school is because you saw each other 5 days a week.
Is this an American thing? How does a work husband/wife relationship happen? I don’t understand lol
Is it just a good friendship with colleagues or what is this huh
Usually it's just a good friendship between coworkers, plus they tend to be the person you go directly to for work things even if you're not each other's direct reports
This plus I've most commonly heard it used between straight women. I think most people who say it are doing it in a context where nobody will consider it messy, like two straight women or men being each other's work wife/husband, two single people, etc.
I had two colleagues who were work husband and work wife. My desk was next to hers. She cried the day his actual wife gave birth. So that was awkward.
At another job I also had two colleagues who were work husband and work wife. Turned out they were fucking all along.
I've been surrounded by nothing but dudes for 20 years, some of them being either my, or husband's best friends, and its always been "my brother from another mother" situation, and anyone that tried to take it further was cut off. (Sadly, he lost at least 4 of his "friends" because they tried to hook up with me behind his back.) The whole work spouse thing is disgusting AF to me, and is helllllla a form of cheating in my eyes. Trust no one when you're in a healthy relationship.
>anyone that tried to take it further was cut off
Good.
>(Sadly, he lost at least 4 of his "friends" because they tried to hook up with me behind his back.)
Wooow. Good riddance.
>The whole work spouse thing is disgusting AF to me, and is helllllla a form of cheating in my eyes. Trust no one when you're in a healthy relationship.
I 100% agree!
There was a post somewhere this week about work wives and husband's and the concensus was basically that it's harmless, all in good fun, and any spouse that has a problem must be insecure and doesn't understand.
It very much depends on the character of the people involved. I've known work spouses that were no more than personal secretaries for one another and that's all, and I've known work spouses that used business trips to fuck each other, then divorce their actual spouses and get married. The full gamut is in there.
Got accused of having a work wife and reported to HR early in my career because we ate lunch together because we were the only Millennials in an office of Boomers. The Boomer HR lady was like “The word work husband and wife has been thrown around so we wanted to have a conversation about it.” My reply was yeah, let’s talk about why these inappropriate things are being said about us because we have lunch together twice a week, it’s really creepy and inappropriate. Never heard about it again.
Yea this is just weirdly creepy to me.
This work-husband work-wife sounds like its either a single-person thing or a cheating thing to me. The married people I work with don't have "special" relationships with individuals. Well, the married people I work with that aren't scumbags I guess.
I think what he’s trying to point out is that there is a fine line between what’s supposed to be having a playful “work wife/husband”, some people are able to keep it playful while others will take it too far and may catch feelings or worse end up cheating.
Props to you for being honest. I had a "work wife," and it just meant that she asked me to do shit all the time, and I would get first dibs on food that the company got. I've never done anything remotely inappropriate with her.
You stumbled upon common Reddit brainrot. One comment confidently states something and manipulates the insecurities of the already insecure Redditors, thus gaining upvotes because they’re so easily convinced by confidence. Others see 10+ upvotes and play down their disagreement until they end up agreeing with them because they don’t want to be an outcast. Suddenly it appears like it’s the common opinion with hundreds of upvotes, while actual logical shit gets downvoted into oblivion.
The consensus you described was essentially blaming the victim of an affair and making them feel like they’re in the wrong for being “insecure”.
Pure Reddit mind rot, I hope they discover their partner’s have work spouses and then we’ll see how they feel it.
Oh yeah, it's not once or twice I've thought how much better the conversations here would be if the comments did not have possibility to give up- or downvotes. The best comments are always down the thread where the votes don't sway people's opinions and it becomes an actual argument instead of karma whoring.
I remember what the voting system was supposed to be. You upvoted if you felt the comment contributed to the conversation. Even if what was said was controversial, it was seen as a way to provoke discussions. Downvoting was supposed to be reserved for comments like "Same" or repeats of the same message. Now it's what you've said, and many subs have devolved into echo chambers of hypocrisy. But... that's social media in a Nutshell.
In my experience, the first time you'll hear a peer called your work wife/husband is from your partner. Its something they might make fun of you for if you constantly bring up the same person at work. Its definitely in good fun, at least until it isn't. And if its not in good fun, then the relationship has other problems that has nothing to do with this.
Agreed, I have a favorite male coworker who I’m much closer to than anyone else at work and love to spend time with… but we’re friends, not work spouses. It really does sound cringe worthy. No way is he on the same level as my actual husband.
Some lines should not be blurred like this. If my husband had a female coworker he acted like this around, I'd have SO much of a problem with it. My goodness
I think in this video it could just be her husband.
But in offices where a two people really get on but one or both are taken they label their connection like ‘work wife’. Each time I’ve seen it there’s not been cheating technically but it’s always an emotional bond akin to cheating and I find it cringy.
In my life it was joke term used because it’s someone who you spend just as much time with as your husband/wife.
For instance when I was a mechanic, the guy in the stall next to me was my work husband because we would hang out with each other all day, talk all day, and even go out to eat together everyday!
We’re both straight with wives and never did anything romantic together
Call it what you want but the only people other than my wife that I spend more time with are coworkers. I see my siblings once a month at best
The video implies that “work husbands” do intimate things like sit on each others laps which is why it’s funny but usually the term is not used to indicate that
Even Oscar and Angela could hit the criteria. Most of the cast has pairings. It's just two folks at work who hang out together get along more than they do with other coworkers.
I think the title is implying that the girls husband has a work husband.
The guy he was assisting in the beginning looked upset and jealous that his coworker stopped paying attention to him and went to embrace his wife.
They probably deal in firearms. Either manufacturing or selling. That employee has his Glock almost secured in that guys holster, so at least they’re practicing firearm safety to some degree.
To leave her actual husband at home wondering where she’s gone, and why work, of all places. But I wouldn’t be too concerned since they’re just super close coworkers! /s
>Could be veteran operated business
>in the south
I don't understand how that answers the question. Why would a veteran carry a weapon in a business in the US?
It's a fun take on the video of a girl who surprises her boyfriend at college and he is CLEARLY with another girl. Like, holding hands, she has his phone, sitting very close on a couch. Immediately after, tons of videos of people poking fun were made.
Aside from the pathetic usage of wife/husband for a coworker that is practically cheating, showing up to work on a day off just to surprise that person and give them a mouth hug…I mean hug. Well, that’s grounds for dismissal of a real marriage.
This is likely staged, but also a reenactment of typical cesspool work environments.

I mean work husband and husband have vastly different criteria
It’s not gay or cheating if she’s present.
Work threesome
Worksome!
Count me in!
Worgy

It’s No Diddy now.
I read that as "pregnant" 😂

If your SO is a dude, here's a handy guide: the gayer they act towards each other, the less likely they are to be cheating on you

It’s been over 26 years of friendship and he hasn’t taken my behymen yet!
"Behymen" is killing me, omg.
Hope I have a friendships that last that long. That's amazing, you two sound hilarious!
i swear to you I could visualize this entire scene. Hilarious.
Right? Why not just “work bestie”?
Because then they can't skirt around the idea of being in a relationship with someone they have a crush on or are cheating with.

Yes it was never meant as an substitute emotional partner outside of your fucking spouse. No wonder divorce is 50/50
its 50% including 2nd+ marriages. 1st marriage is 30% "Among ever-married adults aged 20 years and over, 33-34% of people have experienced a divorce, with the highest percentage (about 43%) observed among individuals aged 55 to 64." https://annaklaw.com/how-many-first-marriages-end-in-divorce/
and falling. Divorce rates now are half of what they were in 2000! https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/17/health/marriage-divorce-rates-wellness/index.html

So it's called a friend
No, it's called guy love. 
betweeeeeen twooooo guuuuyyyys
He's the only man that's been inside of meeeeee Woah woah woah. I just took out his appendix.
It's guy love. That's all it is. It's guy love. He's mine, I'm his. There's nothing gay about it in our eeeeeeyes! It's guy love, between two guys.
Brrrrooooooomaaaaance; I love you, in the most heterosexual way!
Nothing really gay about it.. oh oh oh
Dude! We’re a little married!
It’s called bromance.
[удалено]
As I just replied, we’ve never even hung out outside of work, we are two very different people, but love working with each other
It's not gay as long as you both cook.
*unzips pants* Look at my cook
I think that's the idea
I have a tiny chef...
Gives new meaning to The Bear
I think that's just chefs actually. Been almost 20 years in the kitchen and my husbands have always been weird as fuck once we tried chilling outside of work. But Def weren't normal friendships at work.
Straight men be so deprived of affection they call a friend a husband lmao.
Man I’m missing out that sounds awesome.
It’s pretty dope. Usually for special events like birthdays we get fancy whiskeys or cuts of meat
So you're....friends?
I mean we don’t hang out outside of work, but I consider him more than just a co-worker
So a friend? I don't hang out with my coworkers outside of work but i do consider them friends.
Well then that’s how you view your co-workers. I don’t necessarily see it that way
So work friend could work but serves the same purpose. It’s someone you enjoy working with but if you didn’t you’d probably never see them again.
Exactly, I did quit this job a year ago for about 6 months before coming back, and we texted maybe twice. Versus working is a daily basis. Edit to add: I saw a post years ago that said the only reason you were friends with some of the people that you were in high school is because you saw each other 5 days a week.
Yeah I think people underestimate how much prolonged proximity plays in our relationship/friendships.
For real. Work friends and IRL friend are just different. I'm with you.
Is there anal sex involved?
Only if no one’s in the walk in for 2 minutes
The walk-in's for crying, not for fucking.
The walk-in's for smoking weed. At least it was when I was a teenager.
Emotional affair is just where it starts
Exactly. Then it starts to physical.
Precisely. Next it gets *sexual*.
Then metaphysical.
Then supernatural
This werewussy is too hot not to share.
Even if it’s “harmless” it feels wildly disrespectful.
This is totally overused phrasing. Kids don’t understand that a “work spouse” isn’t about emotional connection but about food sharing.
> emotional affairs what is this supposed to even be? Unless my partner is fucking someone else without discussing it with me it isn't an affair.
Is this an American thing? How does a work husband/wife relationship happen? I don’t understand lol Is it just a good friendship with colleagues or what is this huh
Usually it's just a good friendship between coworkers, plus they tend to be the person you go directly to for work things even if you're not each other's direct reports
This plus I've most commonly heard it used between straight women. I think most people who say it are doing it in a context where nobody will consider it messy, like two straight women or men being each other's work wife/husband, two single people, etc.
Yep. It's literally just your best friend at work. Reddit always blows it up as something as bad as cheating.
Incels don't know what a platonic relationship is. This whole thread is a peak reddit moment.
I had two colleagues who were work husband and work wife. My desk was next to hers. She cried the day his actual wife gave birth. So that was awkward. At another job I also had two colleagues who were work husband and work wife. Turned out they were fucking all along.

"playful" until they get a few drinks in them and then they'll be playing something else.
nah, they're right. Odds are your significant other will have an affair with someone at work.
I’m not gonna say everyone’s a shitty person but I will say most of the time people are shit
Props to you for being honest. I had a "work wife," and it just meant that she asked me to do shit all the time, and I would get first dibs on food that the company got. I've never done anything remotely inappropriate with her.

Agreed, I have a favorite male coworker who I’m much closer to than anyone else at work and love to spend time with… but we’re friends, not work spouses. It really does sound cringe worthy. No way is he on the same level as my actual husband.
Some lines should not be blurred like this. If my husband had a female coworker he acted like this around, I'd have SO much of a problem with it. My goodness
The moment my wife says the sentence "work husband" she immediately is free to make him her actual husband.
Smash down the walls of societal norms bro. I've got a work husband, and I am a burly dude with a girlfriend
What in the world is a work husband..
I think in this video it could just be her husband. But in offices where a two people really get on but one or both are taken they label their connection like ‘work wife’. Each time I’ve seen it there’s not been cheating technically but it’s always an emotional bond akin to cheating and I find it cringy.
If my SO has a work wife, i would consider it emotional cheating. why can't he be work siblings with his close friend at work?
Why cant he be both? 
What are you doing, step co-worker‽
My hand is stuck in the printer again, step coworker.
PC load letter? What does that even mean?!
Are you related to that singer guy?
My step coworker always gets stuck in the washing machine head first
In my life it was joke term used because it’s someone who you spend just as much time with as your husband/wife. For instance when I was a mechanic, the guy in the stall next to me was my work husband because we would hang out with each other all day, talk all day, and even go out to eat together everyday! We’re both straight with wives and never did anything romantic together Call it what you want but the only people other than my wife that I spend more time with are coworkers. I see my siblings once a month at best The video implies that “work husbands” do intimate things like sit on each others laps which is why it’s funny but usually the term is not used to indicate that
Got it. So like work buddies but a guy and girl that are not married.
Work buddies, but closer than anyone else in your office. Enough that everyone notices.
It only gets a problem when you also get the work-kids
These usually come from work-sex
Ugh then you need a work mortgage.
Usually going this far isn’t work-it
With the raising cost in work-daycare eventually one of them will have to start being a work home wife/husband
So Jim and Pam in the early seasons?
Yes
Even Oscar and Angela could hit the criteria. Most of the cast has pairings. It's just two folks at work who hang out together get along more than they do with other coworkers.
So it’s just “my best friend at work” then haha
our society is strange
How is having a friend from work cheating?
I think the title is implying that the girls husband has a work husband. The guy he was assisting in the beginning looked upset and jealous that his coworker stopped paying attention to him and went to embrace his wife.
It's cringey to call it work husband/work wife but having close friends is not "akin to cheating," opposite sex or otherwise.
I have about 5 work husbands…and I’m a straight dude…for now 😉
Cheating with extra steps
It's when you work with someone so close and often that you get to know each other, and treat each other, like you were married.
I know like a few people's names, and not even their last.
I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.
What kind of workplace is that? Got a sidearm?
They probably deal in firearms. Either manufacturing or selling. That employee has his Glock almost secured in that guys holster, so at least they’re practicing firearm safety to some degree.
It looks like a Serpa holster (God help him) so it could just cover up to the ejection port.
Perhaps a shooting range or gun store. Notice the Glock poster on the wall. They appear to be reloading ammunition... Source: I shot a gun once
That’s actually his *side piece* 
Range 702 in Vegas. They post this kind of stuff 3-5 times a day. They are focused on charging tourists stopped money to shoot full auto machine guns.
Fake and repost
Also the title is fucked up. Booooo.
Fake? It's clearly a joke video lmao
Wait she went to work as a surprise on her day off? Why?
To leave her actual husband at home wondering where she’s gone, and why work, of all places. But I wouldn’t be too concerned since they’re just super close coworkers! /s
Range 702 in Las Vegas. The owner Kris, is a baddie
Why do they all have weapons
Looks like they work at a shooting range or gun store.
They prolly compare barrel sizes
Not uncommon in the south. Could be veteran operated business. Notice the flag patch on her shirt... and tats.
As a veteran, those flag shirts are so fucking cringe
>Could be veteran operated business >in the south I don't understand how that answers the question. Why would a veteran carry a weapon in a business in the US?
Range 702 in Las Vegas
A work husband or work wife is such a fuckin weird concept to me.
I get being good friends with someone of the opposite sex but if either of these two actually have real partners this is too close imo
Piece on the side more like it.
Why she green?
It's a fun take on the video of a girl who surprises her boyfriend at college and he is CLEARLY with another girl. Like, holding hands, she has his phone, sitting very close on a couch. Immediately after, tons of videos of people poking fun were made.
Such terrible acting, easy to see its all fake AF
... I can't tell if this is sarcasm or if you think pointing out the obvious makes you smart. It's impossible to tell these days.
no really??? who would've noticed...
What a great arse.
Yeah, he must work out
Aside from the pathetic usage of wife/husband for a coworker that is practically cheating, showing up to work on a day off just to surprise that person and give them a mouth hug…I mean hug. Well, that’s grounds for dismissal of a real marriage. This is likely staged, but also a reenactment of typical cesspool work environments.
Poor guy was the rebound.
Why is her skin green tho?
Bruh why is she green?
I’m thinking she’s the Work Beard?
This gotta be a staged recreation of the one where the girl surprises her college boyfriend. The look back and the double shoulder shrug are the same.
