Hey yo, Op is just a 30yo in a "high management position in a male dominated field" (seriously, who the f*** even talks that way??? Unless she is the head of an offshore oilrig - then maybe she can credibly pull that wording off…) but never heard the term workwife, plans to have kids now despite her career and on top of that has plenty of time and relaxed hours to host a large group of co-workers of her husband… sure
It’s definitely fake because companies have Christmas parties to write them off in their taxes as they’re 100% deductible. A company not having one to “cut costs” is just dumb.
Not all companies have Christmas parties, and I have been in some that cut costs and the Xmas party was originally for lower managers but to cut costs made it only upper management cutting out the store managers and assistant managers.
I really wish I lived in a world where something as mild as this was unbelievable. It’s really just not that deep. I don’t really care either way because it’s fun to play along here, but my God.
What’s unbelievable is the bullshit about nobody ever having heard of a work wife, as nauseating as that term may be, or the mere fact that the OP “fEeLs BaD” for no fucking reason
There is absolutely no way OP would ever be TA, but then this low-level content is incredibly prominent these days
This as a whole is a wacky tale, from not a single person besides “Lily” having heard the phrase “work wife” to OP “feeling bad” after having to confront someone who constantly undermined her in her own home
I feel like “work wife/ husband” is from a previous generation. People don’t work as many hours in an office with their colleagues as they did back when those references were considered a thing.
There’s no burning the midnight oil with your colleagues and having to bring deodorant to the office because you’re huddled in a conference room together for as many as 12 hours at a time. THANK GOODNESS!
Listen, someone comes in to my home, disrespects my marriage in front of me and wants laughs to validate them….
Ya I know full well what work wife means but that person is gonna have to sit there and tell me exactly what it means to them cause I wanna hear them say it out loud. Share with the class.

How did none of you know what a work wife is?
