Not every work friendship needs to evolve into an off-hours relationship—and sometimes, things get weird fast when someone doesn’t pick up on that.
One woman shared her story of what happened when a casual coworker connection got a little too close for comfort.
After noticing some changes in her personal life, her colleague started jokingly referring to herself as a “work wife,” then unexpectedly took things to the next level by showing up at her apartment uninvited when she was out sick.
What followed was a spiral of mixed intentions, HR involvement, and office gossip, leaving her wondering if she’d done the right thing by speaking up.
