“Shocking Discovery: Partner’s Scandalous Sauna Snap with ‘Work Spouse’ Sparks Jealousy and Chaos!”
Here’s what she would say to the person who found the photo… “I understand that you have time invested in this relationship, and may feel dependent and alone in their country. This is more reason they, as a loving committed partner, would do whatever it took to ease your mind.”
Randall added that if the situation is affecting the person’s well-being or mental health, they have a few choices. “Seek professional counseling. If they refuse, go for yourself,” she advised. “Ask to meet them for lunch and to be introduced to ‘J.’ Better yet, surprise them,” suggested Randall. “But please note that some workplaces do not permit visitors without an appointment.”
Lastly, the expert would tell the person to decide if they’re willing to accept the current circumstances, and why or why not? “Share your thoughts with your partner and follow through.”

What to do if you think your partner’s work spouse is taking your place, an expert advises
Randall told Bored Panda it would be understandable to raise doubts when contact after work hours becomes frequent, when your partner does not share what the ongoing conversation is about, when inside jokes are exchanged and there’s no attempt to share one or two of these obviously hilarious repartees, or when explanations to your inquiries become vague. She adds that if your partner is uncomfortable with the term, it’s best you stop using it.
If you’re planning to confront your partner about their “work spouse,” Randall suggests you pause first. “Before showing up at your spouse’s workplace to claim your title, talk. A simple plan to express your opinion and preference regarding the relationship. Before you do, evaluate and list specific things that have led you to this place of jealousy,” she suggests. “If the signs are consistent and clear, like night-time text exchanges that make them smirk, or limited or zero information about the work spouse, my suggestion is to address these behaviors immediately.”
