That makes them your work wife/husband, then

Work wife/husband is the very worst term/concept.

So you’re asking if it’s okay to emotionally flirt with someone when you’re married?

I had a huge crush on the COO at my old job who I reported to directly. We ended up w/ multiple inside jokes and I was one of very few people whose jokes he’d laugh at. I was also one of like 5 people he actually talked to 😂 turns out theres a fair amount of overlap in our lives and have probably met before multiple times. I was crushed when he left, even though he made sure I was promoted beforehand

Hope your project doesn't co-locate 👀👀

Definitely lol. She is happily married and not my type. But we get along and do work related things together (work events, training, etc). Mostly stuffs that get us out of actually working

Happily married, with a work crush? 🤨
Not sure what the algorithm is doing to me but it served this up fresh on my feed lol
Yup
Like you (happily married) but have this associate I vibe with hard. Have co located a couple times and I can tell she’s crushing (also the M on the engagement so conflicts all around). Have to be careful and make sure we do group things.
She out right told me.
I think this happens a lot, and I think there’s really nothing wrong with it unless and until you act on it. If you both know at least one of you is married and it’s all out in the open, that’s good. It’s just fun and innocent right now and keeps the work days interesting. Our industry attracts personable people who can vibe with others more easily, so that’s likely what this is.
That said, it’s easy for this to escalate and get into very morally gray territory. So keep the topics light and probably don’t go out drinking alone or something, and you’ll be fine :)

Maybe? Worked very closely with someone for six months on a project where we tag-teamed everything as a dynamic. We’ve since been put on different projects but still message each other daily, call one another a few times a week, and try hard to meet up when we’re both in town
Both of us are in long-term relationships (4 and 9 years), and while there may be chemistry, I think both of us are extremely conscious in keeping everything straight
