Office Spouse

Office Spouse

  • 맛집영어 영어수강 영어교재 이미지

  • If you work, you have probably heard the phrase “office husband or office wife.” Most employees spend more than 40 hours in the office each week, which is a lot of time spent interacting with colleagues. It is natural to develop friendships or to have an attraction to someone in the office.
    Having close work relationships is not a bad thing. Most "office spouse" relationships are not romantic in nature. It is a positive relationship that works as a stress reliever at work. You can discuss work problems and personal issues with your "office spouse." Where it can become a problem is when the relationship becomes more personal and crosses the line. If you are open about your "work spouse" with your actual spouse, then it might be okay. If the relationship is kept as a secret, then there might be a problem. There's a line that people need to be careful of and manage very carefully.
