Is It Okay To Have A “Work Spouse”?
I used to be the worst girlfriend in the world. I would go through my husband’s FB account (that’s Facebook for all you non-addicts. Shout out to Harriet!), look through his recent calls, and check his e-mail if he left it logged in.
Yes, I was that chick. *shudder*
But I’ve since grown past all that foolishness I used to engage in at 18. My husband knows his stuff is safe with me and I won’t go rifling through it the first chance I get.
But there’s one thing I don’t really budge on.
Female friends. I’m not talking about the ones that he grew up with, the ones that cemented their place before I even met him. I’m talking about running into some woman at a work function or someplace, getting her number, making calls and plans to meet and hanging out.
Uh-uh. No way…

Real talk, if your mate wants to cheat they’re going to do it, “work spouse” or not.

Insecurity. That’s why a lot of women can’t keep a man now. They treat him like a child telling him who he can and cannot hang out with or talk to. Sorry, I will not go along with that. My G is tight, if my girl hangs out with another dude it will only make her realize what a prize she has at home. I welcome that s**t.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! IT IS NOT OK TO “HANG OUT” WIT SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX IF YOURE INVOLVED! THATS THE QUICKEST WAY TO KILL TRUST IN YA RELATIONSHIP! DONT DO IT! IF “HANGIN OUT IS ABOUT THE JOB, TAKE YOUR OTHER WITH YA! WUS WRONG WIT THAT? IF THAT CHICK/NIGGA DONT LIKE IT, BE STRONG DAMN IT AND DONT GO AT ALL! DO SUM WITH YA MATE INSTEAD! AT LEAST YA MATE WILL LUV, AND TRUST YOU MORE!
