Do you have a "office husband/wife" at work?

In this year's Vault Office Romance Survey, there is the new phenomenon of the "office husband" or "office wife" to consider. The office husband/wife is someone that an employee does not have a romantic relationship with, but spends a lot of time with during the workday (on breaks, at lunch, etc.); 32% of survey respondents have one.

Most that do have an "office spouse" feel that there is no reason to keep aspects of this relationship hidden from their actual spouses or significant others. "I tell my real wife about going to lunch, etc. with my 'work wife,'" said one employee. But not everyone feels that way, as another survey respondent said, "If I talk about my 'work husband' too much and in a somewhat too positive light, my real husband starts to get suspicious and a little jealous; mind you, nothing is going on, we probably have "mini-crushes" on each other, but no more."
