    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.
