Is it cheating to have a work spouse?

There's a guy at work who's my best friend. We talk about everything from work to sex to the future. We go out to lunch, sit side by side in meetings and sometimes even work out together. We 're attracted to each other and have joked about hooking up. I think he actually would but I have never given him the opportunity to cross that line. He's married with children. I also have a boyfriend, and he's everything to me, but he lives across the country and loves his job. So until he's ready to move back home , I need someone I can bond with on a daily basis.

What do you guys think, having a work spouse, bonding with him, talking at any level while having a boyfriend, is this cheating?

Ummmm .... I would say YES. If you can talk to him about anything, even hooking up, sex - that means you are guys are getting sparks out of it. It turns you on, and sounds very exciting. It's pretty clear that you are getting some of kind of sexual charge just thinking about it. You need to get your boyfriend back in town, or find a job move close to him, or break up with him. You also should keep your distance with your "work spouse buddy", if you want to stay in a healthy relationship.

Wow. Please don't tell me you don't have feelings for your work buddy .... err ... spouse . I think you guys are crossing the limit, making yourself vulnerable to that weak moment . I suggest to drop this work spouse asap, and reflect on your relationship with your boyfriend. Discuss with your boyfriend about the situation where you two can live close to each other and stay bonded with each other not your colleagues.

I think, it's 101% cheating what you are doing.

"Work Spouse"????

New terms are coined everyday to name whatever relations you make in a family, at work, at gym, at store. I think, you are not doing the right thing, honey. Get out of this "work spouse" relation as soon as possible.
