“Having a 'work spouse' is emotional cheating”
Agree
- Emotional intimacy belongs to actual partner
- Creates inappropriate workplace dynamics
- Usually means something's missing at home
- The term itself implies romantic parallel
Disagree
- Just means close work friendship
- Coworker bonds are natural not romantic
- Partner can't fulfill every social need
- Work relationships stay at work
