Change is the doctrine that's ruling not only our habits, style, and thoughts but is also proving to be a testimony to our ethics! Hectic life styles and cut-throat competition at work place compels us to find solace with the person who is easily accessible to us, i.e., our office colleague!!
An office colleague initially starts interacting with you to discuss a work related issue or an idea. Sooner or later you start realizing that you are sharing more than what you are paid to share or discuss with the person. This person inhabitates your personal space and secretly crawls into your inner thoughts and feelings that you would have been inhibited to share even with your spouse [for reasons of time constrains]! Doesn't this person fit into the image called, "office spouse"?
Don't you think that your office spouse play a more important role in your life? The person is sharing your momentary stress, your little successes, and your mood swings that engulfs you in every day office work. You don't need to wait till day end to get that doze of pamper and soft talk from your own spouse to pep yourself up. Moreover, it takes more time and energy to share the day's events with your partner, right?
Matter becomes complicated only when the office spouse creeps into your bed. It is quite natural for two individuals who are emotionally connected for about 8 to 10hours in a day to explore each other beyond the external realms. Although the intention of the office spouse is not to cheat their own life partners, still they end up doing the unaccepted.
So, what do we do with the numerous office spouses that are created in today's work place? Are we defining a new relationship between two individuals?
