The concept of ‘work husband’ has become quite popular these days. The term refers to a special relationship a man and woman share at the work place. Both are actually comfortable with each other on personal and professional terms. In essence, a very special relationship outside marriage or dating. Sometimes such a relationship can pose a serious problem if one of the partners is already married or engaged with someone else.
In order to make this relationship work, it is necessary that you make it clear, and precise.

Sharing ideas and viewpoints is not a bad idea, but it is equally important to set a boundary for the same. This will save you from lots of hassles, which otherwise are faced by couples who indulge into such a relationship. This rule is exclusive for that spouse who is already married or into another relationship.

If either of you are hiding anything serious about your work relationship, that is a definite signal something is a miss and you have exceeded far off in a relationship.
