Who Do You Like More -- Your Real Spouse Or Your Work Spouse?

Posted by Madeline Holler

Are you the one in 10 workers who has a so-called work spouse? You know, the person at the office that you're (platonically) partnered up with? Famous examples include: Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, Howard Stern and Robin Quivers, David Letterman and Paul Schaffer.

Oo oo, does your actual spouse have a work spouse? How does that make you feel? 

Twenty percent of you are feeling jealous, a CareerBuilder.com survey found.

Back in my office days, I was platonically polyandrous regarding work spouses. I had two. But since one was pushing 65 and the other was kind of dumpy, I highly doubt my then partner-now-husband was the least bit jealous. As for him, the husband, he (1) works in heavily male offices and (2) is socially off-putting enough anyway that, no, actually, I'm not jealous at all!

What about you? Wish your spouse's work spouse would get a new job, already? And doesn't this happen all the time on movie sets -- except it often turns into something real? (Angelina and Brad, I'm looking at you!)
