Work spouse? Don't make it a real thing.
A while ago, we had someone new join the team, and I ended up being the person who showed her how things worked. We're in different locations, so most of it was Teams calls and screen sharing while I explained the random stuff that no one puts in the manual.
After about a month, once it seemed like she'd gotten more used to people, she started calling herself my work spouse.
Honestly, I never responded to that, and I still haven't responded to this day, after almost 8 months. I'm married and happy in my marriage, and honestly my wife is much better than me, so I'm not looking for anything.
What bothers me is how overly comfortable people get as soon as things become friendly at work. I've been called babe, hun, love, and sweetie. Things that, most likely, if I said them to someone else, would get me dragged to HR. She's not ruining my day or anything, because I made my boundaries clear early on and told my wife right away.
Ladies, I understand that it might seem harmless or cute from your side, but from a man's perspective it can come across as very creepy. Don't force the "work wife/work husband" thing on anyone.
note: I will warn her for last time as I don't like these types no borders in talk If I didn't need this job I would left it since months and updated my cv and used InterviewVIP to enhance my interview skills ,what will u do if u were me ?
