Is It Okay To Have A “Work Spouse”?

By Black & Married With Kids May 7, 2009 1:04 pm

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…

To read the rest of this article, go to BlackAndMarriedWithKids.com. What do you think about your significant other having a platonic friend of the opposite sex?

Can men and women really be “Just Friends”?

Is it ever right to fight over a guy?

    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.

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!
