Would you be a bit...

[JarethLovesMe]

if your DH posted a meme containing this quote on FB and tagged another woman (ex work wife).

Talk me down. NC just in case...

She's my person. If I murdered someone, she's the person I'd call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor.

This is not a soap opera, he just made a joke to someone whom he once worked with.

I'd be surprised he posted a stupid meme, but it wouldn't make me feel insecure at all.

I wouldnt be annoyed. She was the colleague wgi always had his back. That's all.

I assume if the ex work wife/ex colleague had a penis then you wouldn't care as much?

They're clearly very good friends, trust him until you have an actual reason not to. Life will be much simpler and happier that way.

Alternatively, it could be that he is being kind and doesn't want to make you an accessory to the crime?

Or maybe, as people say, this is an 'in-joke', but because it happened to them once in their office?

Yes just

I’m not a ‘cool wife’ by any means but also not unrealistic. I don’t know whether to be a bit miffed or not. I think that’s why I posted. And I haven’t had a good sulk in ages. Maybe ones due (privately of course).

Shame mummy2017 I’d quite fancy living next to the Queen Vic but thanks for reminding me

What is this 'work wife' shit? It's just a colleague. Does he call males he works closely with 'work husband'?

what exactly is a 'work wife'?

I'd be disgusted at the use of such a phrase.

Well, I think it is utterly inappropriate.

But I'm not a cool wife who tinkly laughs at an expression made by my husband that makes clear to the wider world he trusts another woman more than me.

At the very least it sounds a bit juvenile.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_spouse can be husband or wife.

Well I was totally expecting to be put straight back in my box as a PITA wife but looks like a 50/50 split.

Also starting to hate the phrase ‘work wife’. Good point expat. Doubtful!

I have a work husband - he's happily married to another man so no need for anyone to be jealous

To me it just means they have covered up/helped each other at work when shit hit the fan.

In 20 years of working life, I’ve never had a ‘work wife/husband’. Maybe That’s why I’m jealous

I have worked with my best friend though.

I would hate it, but I'd also be pretty unhappy if my OH talked about a 'work wife'! All seems weird and inappropriate, and kind of humiliating for you, that he's posting online while you await his new baby, that she is 'his person'. Really disrespectful.

I generally post in favour of calm, and not taking things too seriously, but I'd be having a very serious talk with him about this :-(.

jareth. I'd be pissed off mightily.

It's just a meme, it's not like he thought of it himself. lots of people tagged their friends in something similar on FB the other day and I rolled my eyes.

I'd be pissed off because I'd wonder if my DH was an actual adult (or indeed a professional) if he posted such tripe. And Id be pissed off because it just seems kind of pathetic.

And that is before I even get to the whole issue of trust etc.

If my DP tagged another woman in a meme like that he'd soon know all about bloody bodies being dragged across the bloody living room bloody floor.

Does he call her his work wife?

I read that as she's someone who has got him out of a mess before (more than once) and that's why he would call her - not because he loves her or anything.

Category see that’s the thing, I don’t do memes or tag/post myself in any of that kind of crap. I’d not even tag my best mate on something like that. I don’t understand it.

Xmas I think I’m embarrassed/a bit humiliated, yes.

I’ve heard him refer to her as ‘work wife’ once.

There is an irony in the fact that she is a pretty flakey and unreliable person generally.

Wouldn't bother me. And what OoohSmooch said.

Also an ex-colleague and I had a very detailed plan about how we would dispose of a body... we would never have been caught.

Wtf is a 'work wife' anyway? The only time I've ever seen it is on MN. Don't you just meant 'friend at work who happens to be a different gender'? Not sure why their gender is even relevant anyway if they're just friends if you're not jealous or suspicious like you claim you're not. How strange.

Yes YABU.

In GA it means a best (non sexual) friend - I’d consider that just a bit too close. Generally it would be a friend of the same sex as you.
But since he hasn’t watched the show probably more a “partners in crime” type thing. Which isn’t much better really.

I can't believe people even watch tripe like Gray's Anatomy, much less adopt stupid terms from it.

It's just a colleague.
