    After a TikTok video featuring Valentine's Day cards addressed to "work wives" and "work husbands" went viral, it sparked a strong reaction from Marybeth—and opened the door to a broader conversation about the concept of the "work spouse."

    How appropriate is this term in today’s workplace? At what point does a close professional relationship risk crossing boundaries? Is it harmless camaraderie, or does it blur the lines between personal and professional in a way that should raise concern?

    In this episode, we’re taking a thoughtful look at the “work spouse” dynamic—what it means, where it may be helpful, and when it can potentially become problematic. We want to hear your perspective as well. Do you see it as a normal part of modern work culture, or something that deserves a second look? Share your thoughts in the comments.
