A couple months ago my coworker (M40) asked if I (F30) was his work wife. I thought work wife meant two people that were close at work (non sexual). I even looked up the definition on Google and Urban Dictionary.
We talk about once a week on the phone for 15-20 minutes. We are based out of separate offices. Our phone calls are us complaining about new policies or our boss. He occasionally would message or Snapchat me late at night saying random stuff. I just figured he was drunk.
Fast forward to this weekend. He messaged me telling me he was taking PTO this week. He said he would be in my area on Tuesday. I said we should grab lunch. This is where it got weird. He then told me he was getting a hotel room with a nice comfy bed. He said he didn't want to sleep on his friends couch. I told him that sounded nice I do the same thing when I visit friends. He then messaged me to bring my suit for the pool.
This made me feel weird because I have a BF and he is married. I just didn't reply to him.
He then messaged me the next day asking why I was ignoring his Snapchats. He was commenting on my story telling me I looked hot. He has never done this before. I just brushed it off. He then said well aren't you my work wife? I replied saying I didn't understand what that implied when I said yes.
He then apologized for his behavior and we haven't talked. I told my BF and my friends about it. I am definitely not having lunch with him lol.
TL;DR by saying yes when my coworker asked me to be his work wife.
