Assuming he’s not cheating with her (emotionally or physically), this is called having a friend.

"Cheating emotionally"? What is that?

[–] swagmoney@lemmy.ca 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

like if buddy here was behaving romantically towards his 'work wife' without the consent of his actual wife.

What does "behaving romantically" mean, though? Can they go see a movie together? People become emotionally intimate with their friends, and it seems pretty fucked up to claim that's cheating.

It probably depends on the person/couple. But if he were being emotionally intimate with the work colleague in a way he wasn't with his actual spouse that could be problematic.

Guys don't have women friends bruh /s

That's reductive and throws away most of the meaning. A cell mate is not just someone you live with.
