" My breaking point was last workweek when he come up home with the food I made him . When I asked him why his lunch old bag was still full of what I had made him in the morning , he said she had made him food , and he did n’t need to seem crude and waste it . "
The “work wife” / “work husband” dynamic can get messy, and this story about a man getting caught trashing his wife’s homemade lunches every day to eat the food his “work wife” cooks him is absolutely wild.
Here’s the fullstory: “Me (female, 27) and my husband (male, 34) have been married for three years, but we dated four years prior. He recently got a promotion at his company and moved to a different department. In this department, he recently started interacting with a (female, 24). I dislike her and have from the start.”
" Every time I ’m there , she makes sure to call him her piece of work husband . Or she will do dim-witted thing such as crap him food or throw him special tight hugs . "
“But my breaking point was last week when he came home with the food I made him. When I asked him why his lunch bag was still full of what I had made him in the morning, he said she had made him food, and he didn’t want to seem rude and waste it.”
“So I ignored it until he threw away the food I made him. I woke up at 6 a.m. just to make him his favorite food. But ever since then, this has been happening every day, and it started to get annoying.”
“Until today, I decided not to make him lunch. He came downstairs in the morning to me making breakfast and asked me where his lunch was. I said I didn’t make him one because it was going to go to waste anyway. He started arguing that I was being petty over a little thing. I tried to discuss how I felt, and he went over it. So am I the asshole for not making him food?”
" My wife only makes mine now and again . If he does n’t care it , tough luck , he needs to actualize he ’s upsetting you . "
“I think in plain words you need to tell your husband that you don’t want him interacting with her at all unless it’s required for business and only as minimum as necessary,” userSuccySuccubiwrote.
" Her behavior , from systematically fix for him to call him her work husband and giving him tight clinch , are extremely inappropriate . He should not be more worried about anguish a coworker ’s feelings than disrespecting his marriage . He did n’t want to hurt her feelings by not eating her food , but he has no event with throwing his own married woman ’s food away in front of you . His coworker ’s demeanour is a lineal threat to his wedlock , and it is his responsibility to arrange and enforce the edge to protect the marriage . "
Userfubar_68felt even more strongly, and called for a divorce.
" I would disunite him if I was in your brake shoe . He ’s make an aroused affaire . He ’s awless to his wife , and she ’s rub the affaire in your face , and he ’s not doing anything to stop it . I would tell him you are seeing a attorney . Start doing divorcement research , impress it out , and let him recover it . "
“It’s essential to understand the dynamics of workplace relationships, and the fact of the matter is, respect and boundaries are key, both of which are currently missing in your situation,” userDaisyRebeccaawrote.
" You have every right to feel uncomfortable with this arrangement . The concept of a body of work better half should never overshadow the sanctity of a real matrimonial kinship , and the intimate nature of preparing daily repast is pushing well beyond reasonable piece of work friend demeanour . "
