I wouldn't say it's gross or inappropriate just weird.

    Gross and inappropriate to dismiss male/female platonic friendships, and instead label it "work husband/wife".

    Especially when both are already in serious relationships. I think I'm just sick of the lie that men and women can't be friends. Prolly from my own experience of being accused of cheating every time I spoke about work to my ex and mentioned a male colleague, now that I think about it πŸ‘€ Why do we have to add romantic undertones to a opposite sex friendship?

    The terms are just weird. Like, it's not hard to say "my friend from work", "work friend", "James/Jessie/Meowth from accounting and I had a nice lunch together"

    Got some news for you - now it seems that ANY platonic friendship gets sexualised in some people's minds. For me, I think someone that thinks that way is severely limited by their own expectations that ALL relationships MUST be sexual. And we all know that that just isn't the case.
