Office Pet Names:  She's Jealous with her Husband’s Colleague

Have you ever had a particularly close relationship with a work colleague of the opposite sex? Perhaps you’ve managed to keep it platonic, but has it bothered your significant other? If so, then this story may resonate with you.

Should pet names be banned in the office?

The original poster (OP) starts off by stating that while her husband hasn’t done anything major to make her suspect anything serious is going on, there have been a few small things that have been eating away at her.

She Snooped his Phone

OP isn’t proud, but she has had a snoop on his phone and found a few messages between the pair. She was saddened to discover that his coworker called him pet names such as “cuddle bear” and “cute.”

The third issue relates to what OP has witnessed with her own eyes. Both OP and her husband work from home, and sometimes when he is on a video call with his coworker, they will stop chatting out loud and start typing messages instead.

Finally, she doesn’t like that the coworker seems insistent on trying to get close to her too. She wonders if it could be a “keep your friends close but your enemies closer” type situation.

Trust your gut

The Reddit community arguably stoked the flames and effectively encouraged OP to continue believing that her husband’s work colleague had ill intentions.

“I can 100% understand this and I wish to give you healthy advice but reading this gave me anger issues. Most of these types of girls will act friendly toward you while pursuing your husband. I wouldn’t be her friend because she doesn’t understand boundaries or respect your relationship. She knows what she’s doing.”

Another user pinned the blame on the husband and questioned why he was “letting her call him that.” This person also urged OP to confront her husband about it to ensure boundaries were being set. Is there a way for OP to come out of this situation with everything she wants or will she have to tell her husband’s coworker straight? What would you do if you were her?
