5. WORK HUSBANDS
Within couples, it’s easy for work conversations to be dominated by the man. Women like a work-life balance, so they often don’t mind leaving the office at the office, and just listening to their partner’s work woes. The problem with that is that they still need to talk to somebody about work—it’s a big part of their lives. And so they take a work husband. Think Jim and Pam from The Office before they were actually husband and wife.
WHY IS IT CHEATING?
You can end up feeling closer to your work husband than to your real partner. Your work husband knows more people in your life than your real partner. Your work husband witnesses more of the important moments in your life than your real partner. If you don’t tell your real partner about your work life, you’ll end up feeling distant and that’s unfair to both of you.
