   I haven't heard the terms "work wife" or "work husband" before. It seems like the kind of thing people would joke about because they believe joking about it will create plausible deniability and smoke screens for actually having an affair.

   Please be closer to your family than to your colleagues. But maybe that's not possible in the US environment and that's why these are US terms.

      @clacke I never heard of such a thing until I worked for a government agency that sends people to remote offices for months at a time. And, yes, there is a very high rate of infidelity and lots of sexual harassment claims.
      
      And lots and lots of required training meant to divert those who might be considering such behaviors.

         @LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} That aligns with my uninformed pre-judgement. 😅
