Wikipedially, a Wife is a partner in marital relationship.
And Work-spouse is a co-worker, usually of opposite sex with
whom we share a special relationship, having bonds as marriage. Now, it's not a
new term, it was coined in 1930's with the movie "The Office Wife".
My own definition of work wives is people with whom we come
office in same car. We work in same place, lunch at a single table, go back
home again together and ... Don't get any naughty ideas. But the true fact is,
most bachelors staying away from home, sleeps below the same roof. Such
bachelors are no more single, they become Work Wives. Good thing is their
relationship is without any commitments. They are friends with material and
work benefits.
Work-wives are there right from the time, when you come out
of your home. They are known as friends at that time. As soon as you step foot
into professional world, you officially have work spouse. There are rare
chances when such relationship becomes more than work and goes personal. In
other words, they become gf/bf and finally the end-Marriage. Rest of the time,
people have boundaries. Work wives can vary from 1 to many depending on the
interests and need.
Funny thing is you don't even notice when you move together.
Then you take below vows:
1. Rotational basis cooking and cleaning.
2. Taking care of Groceries.
3. Taking care of rent and other bills etc.
Yes, knife fights happens here as well. But don't you think
its part and parcel of life. Sometimes, people get divorce also resulting in
change of apartment.
Still I like such marriages as they provide someone for
everyone. They take care of you when in need. They teach you to live in
harmony, to cook and share.
Unfortunately such marriages have an ending too. They end
when you change your company/location or you actually get married. With this post, I would like to thanks my
work wives for bearing me. I know I can be annoying sometimes, but lesser than
you.
I will now leave you, to be with your work wife.
